The Jerusalem council
The apostles and elders, gathered over the circumcision question, judged that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, laying no greater burden on the Gentiles (Acts 15:11, 28-29).
📖 Acts 15:1–3
1Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2And after engaging these men in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. 3Sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, recounting the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers.
