What does the Bible say about the role of Gentiles in the early church?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that Gentiles are welcomed into the faith without the need for circumcision, as expressed in Acts 15:13-21.

Acts 15 presents a pivotal moment in the early church where the leaders, including the Apostle James, affirm that God has called Gentiles to be part of His people. James references Peter's experience with Cornelius, emphasizing that God has chosen Gentiles for salvation. He argues that it is unnecessary to impose Jewish customs, such as circumcision, on those who turn to God. This decision highlights the expansiveness of God's grace and the inclusion of all people, regardless of their ethnic background, into the covenant community through faith in Christ.
