Reasons to believe there is a dual program:
Paul in Acts 9--a blasphemer of the Holy Spirit is saved.
Peter in Acts 10--a Gentile (Cornelius) is included in the kingdom of Heaven

I disagree with the teaching that Cornelius was in the Body of Christ. Below, I’ve listed several things
that I think are worthy of study:
1. Peter never preached him the gospel of Christ in Acts 10. (Paul said the “gospel of Christ is
the power of God unto salvation.”--for the body of Christ.)
2. Cornelius was not a “lost” man when Peter went to him. See v.1,2 and v.36,37. He was as any
other blessed Gentile, waiting for the Saviour.

Every book in the New Testament section of the Bible has a human author (i.e., a man who either wrote the revelation down himself, or spoke it to a scribe who did) assigned to it except one, 1 the letter to the Hebrews. Because of where it's placed following Paul's epistles, and some of the language in it, it is a widely held belief by Bible expositors that its author is, indeed, the apostle Paul. The following essay, by Pastor Jerry Lockhart, lays out a strong doctrinal case for why this can't be.
This is not terribly important. I believe it might be helpful, but then again, it might be
confusing. Or you might disagree. You might have your own version of this and I would
not in any way begrudge you your opinion. Itʼs probably just as valid as this.
However, the Lordʼs word IS very important; it is over-the-top enlightening and clears
the path of our spiritual vision . If you disagree with me on this I would dearly love to
hear from you and have you give me the Scripture to show me where Iʼm not getting it
right. So, with the plain understanding of a school child, no higher form of academia
involved, letʼs think on these things of the Lord and, perhaps, why Paul wrote his
thirteen books in this particular order.
(Which One's Right-compare Scriptures)
Compare the King James Version of the Bible with any other version on the market today, and you'll be astounded by what you see. The Bible tells us to compare spiritual things with spiritual things. So test your scripture with the old King James.
THESE SEVEN VERSES SHOULD DO IT!!!
HOW MANY MISTAKES WOULD A BIBLE NEED TO NOT BE GOD'S WORD?
1. Mark 1:2 - Does it say Isaiah said what Malachi actually said?
2. Matthew 23:14 - Is it omitted or do bracketts imply omitting?
3. Luke 4:4 - Is "but by every word of God." left off?
4. Luke 2:33 - Is Joseph made out to be Jesus' father?
5. 2 Timothy 2:15 - Is "study" changed to some form of work; and "rightly dividing" some form of handling or manipulating?
6. Psalms 12:6, 7 - Is God's promise to preserve His Word removed?
7. And, if all or any of the above attacks have been made to your Bible, then how in this world could you agree with the Lord in Psalm 138:2?
The “Grace message” is a popular theme in churches today. I
discovered 1.4 million websites on just one search engine with the
phrase “Grace Church” in them. If you were to take a poll of churches/
preachers in America, and in that poll ask the question: Do you preach
the “grace message?” the vast majority would say, “yes, of course.” But
if you were to follow that question with: “What is the grace message?”
You, most likely, would get as many answers as you had respondents to
the question. In other words, there is great confusion over what this
message is.
