Study 28 From The Book of Acts Is: Acts 15:1-12
- The point at issue between the
newly-established Gentile church at Antioch and the older Jewish church at
Jerusalem was: ‘On what terms can Gentiles be saved?’ What answer was
given by (a) Paul and Barnabas (see 14:27), and (b) the teachers from
Judaism (verses 1, 5)? Write down
what you think is essential for Salvation.
- Verses 7-11. Of what three facts did
Peter remind the Council at Jerusalem, and what conclusions does he draw
from them? Is it possible for old established churches to impose upon
young churches of a different culture, or for mature Christians to impose
upon new converts patterns of behaviour or ceremonies that are not
essential to Christianity?
Note. Verses 6-21. Luke records only the closing speeches
of a discussion that may have lasted for some days and been marked by deep
feeling.
