I'm not sure if I should post this question here. If not will a moderator please move it to the proper place.
I asked the following question under the thread When was Cornelius Saved but there were no response. The reason was at church on last Wednesday night while discussing the Great Commision I was asked when was Cornelius saved. My answer was before Peter's visit. I was told I was wrong.
If he was not saved before Peter came to him then can we say that he cooperated with God? In verse 5 he is told to send men to Joppa for Peter. In verse 7 & 8 he sends a devout soldier and two house hold servants. Could not Cornelius say that he cooperated with God because if he did not send the men Peter would not of came? So then by cooperating with God he helped in his salvation. So am I wrong or am I just confused about synergism?
As I stated above I hold to the view that Cornelius was saved prior to Peters coming.
