The Outcome of Jerusalem Council
The Outcome of Jerusalem Council Acts 15:1–21 Excerpt Three important decisions emerged from the Jerusalem Council. 1. The church decided that obedience to the Mosaic law was not a condition for salvation to be imposed on Gentiles. 2. The church urged that Gentile Christians avoid certain practices for the sake of harmonious Jewish-Gentile relationships. 3. The church preserved a unity that gave credibility to its witness of the gospel. More Lea, Thomas D., and David Alan Black. The New Testament : Its Background and Message . 2nd ed.
