ACTS—NOTE ON Acts 10:48 To be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (see also Acts 2:38; Acts 8:16) is not different from being baptized “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). The “name” of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit is the same as the “name” of Jesus Christ (see note on Acts 3:16). The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit share one “name” (that is, one character). remain for some days. Peter’s willingness to stay with them likely involved his sharing meals with the Gentiles. This was a bold step for one who had been so concerned about clean and unclean foods (see also notes on Gal. 2:11–21).
