“Paul was at the Council of Jerusalem. He agreed with Peter about reaching out to the gentiles. And he recognized Peter’s authority as the leader of the Council to release gentile converts from purely ritual Jewish laws.”

God interceded in Peter’s life by vision to tell him Gentiles are not unclean, but included in the Gospel. The Holy Spirit confirmed this.

1. “Paul was at the Council of Jerusalem. He agreed with Peter about reaching out to the gentiles. And he recognized Peter’s authority as the leader of the Council to release gentile converts from purely ritual Jewish laws.”

2. God interceded in Peter’s life by vision to tell him Gentiles are not unclean, but included in the Gospel. The Holy Spirit confirmed this.

Paragraph 1, Yes.

Paragraph 2, Yes.

You didn't intend #2 to somehow rebut #1, did you? (Or maybe I didn't understand your intention.)

God interceded in Peter's life by a vision, not for just Peter personally, but because Peter, as leader of the Council, would be he one to relay this to the rest. After he'd told them the message he'd received from Heaven, the Holy Spirit's message, they knew the right path to take.
