Was Ananias still under the Law seven years after Pentecost?
Yes. In Acts 22, when Paul recounts his Damascus experience, he refers to Ananias as a devout man after the Law. That was seven years after Pentecost, and Ananias, though a devout believer, was still under the Law. He had not been told to quit it.
Les explains that in the Book of Acts, believing Jews who accepted Christ as the Messiah were still law-keepers. No one had told them to quit going to the Temple or stop keeping the Law. When Paul rehearses his Damascus experience in Acts 22, he refers to Ananias as a devout man after the Law—seven years after Pentecost. Ananias was a devout believer, but he was still under the Law. Les also points to Peter at Cornelius’s door, where Peter objected that it was unlawful for a Jew to come to another nation, and later refused to eat anything unclean because he had never eaten anything that was not kosher. These examples show that even believing Jews remained law-keepers at that time.
