In Acts 15:8-9 Peter commented that God made “no distinction” between Gentile and Jewish believers in Jesus when he gave both parties his Holy Spirit and purified their hearts by faith. It sounds as if he means to say that there is no difference between the two in the body of Messiah. Does the remainder of Acts support this idea? This study examines whether the narrative of Acts 15:30-28:31 (from the end the Jerusalem council to the end of Acts) supports or undermines what David B. Woods calls the theory of intra-ecclesial Jew-Gentile distinction.
