Episode Details

To resolve the question of what is required of the Gentiles, the church leaders gather with all the church members in Jerusalem. We see the leaders speak and listen respectfully to each other.  We learn how the early Christians decided doctrinal questions, which was by discussion among the leaders, not from one leader.  We learn the importance of the church not requiring the law in order to be saved. We also see a wise compromise based on the needs of different groups within the church. 

• How is the doctrinal decision made in the early church?
• What would modern churches have to do to reconcile differences like was done in Acts 15?
