When did the Jerusalem Council occur, and how long after Pentecost was it?
The Jerusalem Council occurred in 51 AD. That was about 22 years after Pentecost. At that gathering, the question still being debated was whether salvation comes by faith alone or whether one must also keep the Law of Moses and practice circumcision.
Les teaches that the Jerusalem Council occurred in 51 AD, which was a long time after Pentecost—about 22 years by his calculation. Even after that long span, they were still debating whether salvation was by faith alone or whether one must keep the Law of Moses and practice circumcision. Paul went up to Jerusalem by revelation, and the Lord told him it was time to confront the Twelve and settle the matter, so the Gospel could move out into the Gentile world. Paul communicated the Gospel he preached among the heathen, setting up the discussion in Galatians 2.
