Acts, Part 28: Gentile Believers are Officially Embraced
The Jerusalem Council concludes and then the apostles and elders together with the whole church in Jerusalem chose delegates and they sent them to Antioch of Syria with Paul and Barnabas to report on this decision of the Church in Jerusalem. The Gentiles are “officially in,” and they do not have to be circumcised. The messengers went at once to Antioch, where they called a general meeting of the believers and delivered the letter. And there was great joy throughout the church that day as they read this encouraging message. Christian faith, in practice and in doctrine, is being established for thousands of years.
