"one who feared God" is a convert to Judaism that was not circumcised... or a proselyte... so he was a believer under the old covenant

Thanks. LJ.

Where did you get that definition for "one who feared God"? I want to take a look at that.

don't have the exact sources, as it just happened to be spoken on @ church last night... i'll email the teacher and ask for his notes on that section

but MacArthur does say this in his NT Commentary...

Quote :

Cornelius was a God-fearer. The Lord had moved on his dark soul so that he had abandoned his pagan religion and was worshiping Jehovah God. That devotion expressed itself in his giving of many alms to the Jewish people, and by the fact that he prayed to God continually. He had stopped short, however, of becoming a full proselyte to Judaism through circumcision.

will try to remember to check back in when i get those notes (emailing him now so i don't forget)
