Peter was a man of action. When he thought something needed to be said or done he did it. When he was a disciple during Jesus' ministry his words and actions were often the wrong ones: like at the Transfiguration when he spoke when he should have been listening, or his brash claim that he would die for Jesus before he would deny Him, and when he cut off the ear of Malchus while trying to defend Jesus from being arrested. However, the Apostle Peter was a very different man. He was still a man of action but now his actions were the right ones because now, after the Resurrection, he understood who Jesus really was. The Peter we see in the book of Acts no longer thought of himself, his only purpose was to proclaim the Gospel to the world. Peter's first act was to compel the eleven disciples to name a replacement for the betrayer Judas Iscariot. His next "act" was to preach the greatest sermon ever. At Pentecost people from all over the world were gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate, and even though they all spoke different languages they could all understand what he was saying. On that day 3,000 people became Christians. And just imagine how many more would hear the Gospel when all of these people returned home and told their friends and family about what happened that day in Jerusalem.
What else can I help you with?
What was chapter10 in the book acts about?
This section begins in Acts 9:32 and ends in Acts 11:18 and tells us about Peter preaching the gospel to gentiles. Acts 10 is about a Roman centurion Cornelius, receiving the gospel. In a vision Cornelius is told to send for Peter who was at that time in Joppa. Peter also has a vision and God shows him the gospel is for all people not just Israel. Peter goes to Joppa with Cornelius's servants and tells Cornelius and others the gospel.
Did the vision eliminate Peter's prejudices?
You're speaking of the one in the book of Acts. After this incident Peter did what he was supposed to, go to the house of Cornelius. So it is a good possibility that his prejudices were eliminated by this experience.

Apostle that said 'no man should be call unclean or common' in New Testament?
This was Peter, following a vision God had shown him (recorded in Acts 10:9-16). Acts 10:28 - Then he said to them, "You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean." [NKJV]
Why was Peter's vision important?
A:In Acts 10:10-20, Peter had a vision in which he was called upon to eat non-kosher food, which he soon realised was a call to preach to the gentiles. Soon afterwards he was the leading supporter in Jerusalem for this cause.This vision is important because it counters Paul's earlier claim that he was called by God to preach to the gentiles, and that Peter had resisted doing so, even eating separately from Paul's gentile converts when they ate non-kosher food (Galatians 2:12).In my view the purpose of Acts was to compare Peter and Paul, in order to show Peter to be the greater apostle. George Wells (Evidence for the Historical Jesus) quotes A. J. Mattill as saying that the dominant view of Acts' presentation of Paul is that in Acts and the epistles there are two Pauls, the historical Paul of the authentic epistles and the legendary Paul of Acts.
What is the meaning of Peter's dream?
If you are asking about the Apostle Peter's vision in Acts, chapter 10, it is understood to be the command of Christ to open the gospel to the Gentiles. In other words, it meant that Peter, and by extension the other Apostles, should not limit their evangelism only to Jews, but take it to the entire world. Peter himself gives his vision this interpretation in Acts 11: 1 - 18.
