What does it mean for Rhoda to recognize the voice of Peter?

Acts 12:14 (ESV)

14 Recognizing Peter’s voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate.

The fact that Rhoda recognizes Peter’s voice confirms that he was a regular visitor at this house and that there were many meetings which took place there. It also suggests that Rhoda was part of these meetings and that she was a believer in Christ.1
