The Jerusalem Council: Acts 15 –Christianity is not a cultural mandate.
Acts 15:1-11 ESV
Acts 15:19-21 ESV
Two very different forms of Christianity
A religious rules Christianity
A religion of faith inspiring loving service
Galatians 2:16 Yet we know that a person is not justifiedby works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
The religion of faith creates churches; the religion of rules kills churches.
