About this episode
Acts 15 upholds salvation by grace and a Torah-shaped path of discipleship for all believers.
Acts 15 records the Jerusalem Council’s ruling on Gentile believers, circumcision, and the Torah. This episode walks through the dispute, James’s use of Amos, the four prohibitions, and why “Moses is read every Sabbath” matters for discipleship today. Show Notes: We explore how the apostles affirmed salvation by grace while providing a practical on-ramp to fellowship for Gentiles. Topics: the party of the Pharisees (15:5), Peter’s testimony, the Apostolic Decree’s four prohibitions, and Acts 15:21 as the roadmap for ongoing instruction and growth.
