Also consider that Peter may not have even tried to baptize Cornelius if he hadn't received the Holy Spirit, as the group he was with clearly didn't expect that the Holy Spirit would be poured out (in bold) Acts 10 45All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that...

one more edit: I think it's more accurate to say I didn't "really" enjoy it, like something was off, sorry I think God was helping me not to begin practicing it. I was fooling myself into thinking something like "it's okay as long as we get married at some point in the future". Anyways, just...
