In Acts six, there is the mention of ONE Gentile and it is shown that he is a proselyte. There is NO such thing as a proselyte in the body of Christ.

Why does this matter? The Jews and Israelites were in the church first. The gentiles were grafted in and were also granted life.

Act 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:

Acts 2 and Pentecost showed that Peter, the apostles and many that heard them were given the Holy Spirit.

What does Paul say is a sign that someone is in Christ? The Holy Spirit!

2 Corinthians 1:21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,

2 Corinthians 1:22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a deposit.

Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
