Dear Oskar in peace. Have you read the Law of Moses? If not, you can do it. As you probably know, many of the Jews still have and live under the law of Moses. Peter is here preaching the good gift he has experienced and received from Jesus, namely the Holy Spirit. And in that kingdom there is no need for regulations other than to abstain from things that are for idols, from blood and that which is suffocated, and stay away from fornication. Acts 21:25
This was revolutionary learning! No one had heard this before. Acts 10:28 and 36-37. Peter and the rest of the apostles had that task and preach this precisely not only to the Jews, but also to those who did not have God's law and 10 commandments, that is, preach to the Gentiles. Can we believe they had Resistance? oh Yes.
But thank God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. No one can resist it for as long as they want! All who hear will come to the realization of Truth, sooner or later.
You understand that the Law no longer applies, be it circumcision or sacrifice. Everything we do now is because the Holy Spirit works in us to do what we must do. For example, pray, go preach, guide also further. The Holy Spirit can also specifically ask us to do something we do not want to do.
These days I have something very special and uncertain for me. So you can pray for me if you are led to it. I have to get an alternative in a way. We need to get certainty, put things to the test. So we not do headless things.
The Holy Spirit now lives in our hearts we who believe in Jesus Christ - Has the same meaning as the repeal of the law.
Hope this was an explanation for what you were thinking. God bless you with all the spiritual blessing in the Heavenly world in Christ.
and I believe the reason is given In the beginning of the Chapter verses 1-4 he Cornelius and those who
knew him were devout and tithed faithful already and prepare for whatever God wanted them to do.
They already were prepared to believe they just needed to hear Gods word like putting ice
cream in front of a baby the first time for a taste. Perhaps bad analogy, but it reminds me of the first time
I heard the word and believed all tension broke and I was in Gods quiet peaceful spiritual ocean of Love
Keep something in mind this was before anything was written down so they were moving
strictly by what the spirit was showing them to do, fantastic things to keep in mind.

This full thought of the scriptures you want clarity on : Acts 10:26-46, starts in Acts 10:10-15, with the vision.
Acts 10:28 , I believe Peter was referring to Leviticus 10:10-11, Old Testament Law,
Acts 10:26, Peter didn't want Cornelius to worship him, or reverence him that way, he corrected him.
Mark 1:1-11, Luke 3:21-22, Luke 4:14-15,
Mark 16:6-17, New tongues, Jesus risen from the (grave), ate with them,
Acts 7:8, promise of Covenant, circumcision ; Genesis 17:10, Romans 4:11-12, 1 Corinthians 7:18,19, Galatians 5:6, Colossians 3:11,
Hopefully these are all helpful & pray for understanding
