Why did Jehovah God confirm Peter as minister to the Gentiles with his vision of the sheet lowered and raised 3 times yet God does not confirm Pauls vision on road to Damascus with 3s?

Answer 1

What happens in Acts 10 does not necessarily confirm Peter as apostle to the gentiles.

I think the real significance of the vision was this: God was about to open the door of faith to the Gentiles. As a Jew, Peter had always looked upon the Gentiles as unclean, as aliens, as strangers, as far off, as godless. But now God was going to do a new thing. Gentiles (represented by the unclean beasts and birds) were going to receive the Holy Spirit the same as the Jews (clean beasts and birds) had already received Him. National and religious distinctions were to be dissolved, and all true believers in the Lord Jesus would be on the same level in the Christian fellowship.

As far as Paul was concerned God did confirm his ministry with the gentiles:

Act 26:15 So I said, 'Who are You, Lord?' And He said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

Act 26:16 But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.

Act 26:17 I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you,

ASKER: But God always seems to confirm in 3s. Samuel was called by God 3 times before Eli knew it was God calling Samuel. Jesus was 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth. Jesus asked Peter 3 times if Peter loved him. God let down and raised up a sheet of animals (3 times) before Peter in his vision. How can we be sure Paul was called by God and not Satan. Satan mas-car-aides (sp?) as an angel of light. And that is what Paul/Saul saw. A light. He did not see Jesus in the flesh as Jesus had always appeared to the Disciples upon his resurrection. This is my point of contention.
