Commentary on Acts 15:8
Peter's description of God as 'which knoweth the hearts' establishes that divine acceptance bases on internal faith, not external ritual. His argument that God gave the Spirit to Gentiles 'like as he did unto us' places Jewish and Gentile believers on equal footing. This testimony proved decisive in the Jerusalem Council's deliberation.
