Three cultural boundaries that are crossed in the conversion of Cornelius are Peter entering the house of Cornelius, Peter and his brothers eating with Cornelius in his house, as well as Peter staying in the house of Cornelius. Cornelius had been a Gentile who had not been circumcised. Moreover, none of his family members had been circumcised for which it had been prohibited for Jews and Christians to visit the houses of Gentiles. It had been considered impure to enter the impure houses of Gentiles.
