Acts 15:7-9

7After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that some time ago God chose me to preach to the Gentiles so they would hear the message of the gospel and believe.

8And God, who knows the heart, has testified to them by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us,

9and he made no distinction between them and us, cleansing their hearts by faith.
