11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.

It says here that Paul rebuked him because Peter was afraid of eating with the Gentiles. This is not a point of doctrine.

.
No, that is not what it says. It says that Peter was a hypocrite, and that his hypocrisy was harming the spiritual lives of others. And yes it is a point of doctrine, because Peter had already admitted that he knew that the gentiles were not to be treated as unclean.

Uh...

Not quite: ...because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.

..and THAT's DOCTRINE!

Bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!
