I've answered your replies and you come back with more wrong thinking. What am I supposed to answer about Acts 15? There were arguments that Gentiles had to be circumcised to be saved. They ruled that they didn't have to be circumcised in the flesh to be saved, but Spiritually had to be circumcised. Jesus is building a Spiritual Kingdom and we must transfer carnal laws into the Spiritual realm. These pagans would be in the synagogues every Sabbath to learn the Commandments and laws so eventually they would come around if they loved the Lord. Pagans should especially notice abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood. If you worship statues and graven images, you might still be a pagan.

Now some questions for you? Have you read the Bible? Do you consider yourself a born again Christian? Are you Catholic? Why do you have some sort of remark about almost half of the posts here on FR? What are you trying to prove?

And, by extension, one could bring this attitude up to date with:

Prots would be in the churches every Sunday to learn the things NOT listed in the LETTER as being SO essential that eventually they would come around and be baptisted CATHOLIC if they (really) loved the Lord.
