“Whether Cephas is Peter or not, the teaching that Christians aren’t bound by Jewish customs is Peter’s own.”

It would seem you’ve missed the reading of Peter’s vision in Acts. Peter had no authority to teach such a thing until it was given him.

Yes, yes, yes. We all agree that Peter had received such authority from God. Can we dispense with the gotach games? Peter had no evidence, but his own word, that God had ordained such things. Even after the fact: If Simon Magus had said or done such things, they would not have called Cornelius’ household’s ecstatic prayers miraculous.
