Right!
"Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in
every
nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with
him." Acts 10:34-35 (KJV)
Not forgetting our Ethiopian brother of course....."Who went on his way
rejoicing" even though he had come from another country and had no
Christian
'church' to go and worship in.
