Acts 15:7

"After there had been much debate": Apparently the Judiazers are allowed to present their arguments, but the Holy Spirit records none of their arguments. After they had run out of arguments, the apostles, one by one, rise and counter the claims of the false brethren. "Men who are in error can never be convinced that they are wrong by denying them freedom of speech" (McGarvey p. 536). Yet, error needs to be countered and do so effectively (Titus 1:9).

PETER"Brethren, you know that in the early days God made. choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe": Peter had been specifically sent by God to the home of. Gentile (Acts 10:1) for the purpose of offering salvation (without circumcision or keeping the Law of Moses). Peter calls Acts chapter 10, the "early days", and the events in that chapter had taken place some 10 years previously. Remember also that some 20 years before Jesus had told Peter that he would be given the keys to the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 16:19). "Hear the word of the gospel and believe": Salvation is based on hearing and obeying the gospel. not on being circumcised and obeying the Law of Moses.
