Best Answer

A centurion named Cornelius and the members of his household were the first Gentiles to receive the Holy Spirit.

Acts 10:44, 45 - While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. [NKJV]
