OK, laying that aside why was Paul under such threat in Jerusalem from the original Christians and barely got out alive? Why did the Jerusalem church and all the satellite churches in Asia Minor turn on him?
You want to lay aside the very answer to the questions you’re asking…! The only Christians who turned on Apostle Paul were the Judaizers, who then stirred up other Jews who insisted that the Law of Moses was binding on Christians.

Works being evidence of, not a requirement for. Salvation isn’t by grace ‘and’ works. It’s by grace alone, through trust and confidence in Jesus alone. Period.
