Acts 10:34

"And Peter opened his mouth and said, Of. truth. perceive that God is no respecter of persons"I perceive" "I most certainly understand" (NASV). God is no respecter of persons" Peter had perceived this truth by necessary inference, the conclusion which was demanded from the events that had taken place in the past four days. "He means that God's attitude to people is not determined by any external criteria, such as their appearance, race, nationality, or class" (Stott pp. 189-190). Many of the Jews had been under the mistaken impression that God would save them, simply because they were of the right ethnic race (Matthew 3:7). This should also reveal that wealth cannot save you, neither can social status, and neither can the faith of your parents. The doctrine of Predestination finds itself in serious conflict with the above verse, because according to that doctrine, God does demonstrate partiality. See also (Romans 2:6).
