Then these ARE requirements.
At the council of Jerusalem, it was decided that circumcision of Gentiles was not necessary before becoming a Christian.
A letter was then sent out saying that circumcision was not necessary for those Gentiles coming into the Church. The letter read.....
Acts 15:`The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the believers of Gentile origin in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. [R] [+]
24 Since we have heard that certain persons who have gone out from us, though with no instructions from us, have said things to disturb you and have unsettled your minds, [R] [+]
25 we have decided unanimously to choose representatives and send them to you, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, [R] [+]
26 who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. [R] [+]
27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. [R] [+]
28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose on you no further burden than these essentials: [R] [+]
29 that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.’
Already within the first generation after the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus, we have the leaders of the Church gathering to decide, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, what is required of those coming into the Church. That authority is still in effect today.
