Acts 15:7-9 ▼

7 After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you are aware that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the gospel message and believe.

8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he also did to us.

9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
