When Cornelius got saved (Acts 10), his experience was like ours today. When he believed, he received three blessings: Eternal life, forgiveness of sins, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. This morning we encounter the very different salvation experience of Saul!

· One event, three accounts: Acts 91-20; 2212-16; 2614-18)
· Saul, like Cornelius, a very religious man
