I know that may fit your theology, but it does not fit what it says in Acts 21:17-26:

When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly. On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. After greeting them, he related one by one the things that G-d had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. And when they heard it, they glorified G-d. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed. They are all zealous for the Law, and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or walk according to our customs. What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.

Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow; take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also live in observance of the Law... Then Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself along with them and went into the Temple, giving notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for each one of them.

Not only did Paul took four other followers of Messiah, they immersed in a mikveh (pool of water), and then offered animal sacrifices (the vow mentioned was the Nazarite vow from Numbers 12). They measured the time of the vow by the cutting of the hair, offering the hair on the alter, and then offering animal offerings.

So, it appears that your theology demands that Stephen and others as well who were guilty of what they were falsely accused.?

Acts 6:8-15:

And Stephen, full of grace andzpower, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. But athey could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and G-d.” And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, and they set up false witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the Law..."

“Not only did Paul took four other followers of Messiah, they immersed in a mikveh (pool of water), and then offered animal sacrifices (the vow mentioned was the Nazarite vow from Numbers 12). They measured the time of the vow by the cutting of the hair, offering the hair on the alter, and then offering animal offerings.

None of that is stated in the text. Paul was trying not to offend the Christian Jews. However, go read the book of Romans and other books by Paul to hear how he regarded the efficacy of sacrifices. However, if you want to shave your head, go for it.
