Acts 15:6-9

61The apostles and the elders came together to 2look into this 3matter.

7After there had been much 4debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brethren, you know that 5in the early days 6God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of 7the gospel and believe.

8And God, 8who knows the heart, testified to them 9giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us;

9and 10He made no distinction between us and them, 11cleansing their hearts by faith.
