Acts 15

A dispute arises in Antioch over whether Gentile believers must be circumcised according to the custom of Mosheh to be saved, leading Paul and Barnabas to the Jerusalem Council where Petros argues salvation is by grace through faith for both Jews and Gentiles, Paul and Barnabas testify to miracles among Gentiles, and Yakobos cites Amos 9:11-12 to affirm God's plan to include all the Gentiles called by his name.[1][2][5] The council decides not to burden Gentiles with the yoke of the Torah except to abstain from pollutions of idols, blood, strangled meat, and sexual immorality, sending a letter with Yehudah Barsabbas, Silas, Paul, and Barnabas to Antioch; later, Paul and Barnabas sharply disagree over taking Mark on a new mission, parting ways.[1][2][8]
