In the early Jesus movement a serious dispute arose between Peter and Paul. Paul held that the new Gentile converts would not be required to be circumcised. A Council was called in Jerusalem to address the problem. In the letter to the Galatians commentators have described the confrontation of Peter by Paul as one where the sparks were flying. The issues: Are Gentile converts to be circumcised? And what about following the Mosaic Law?
The pertinent record of the Council is found in the Acts of the Apostles chapters 10 and 15.
