Acts 15:4-6
4 And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders; and they reported all things that God had done with them. 5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.” 6 Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.
Paul and Barnabas returned to the church leaders, the apostles and elders, to tell of God's work among the nations through their ministry of the gospel. Some believing Pharisees tried to make the gentiles also follow the Jewish law, so the leaders came together to consider what a God's intended will was from the scriptures and His Spirit's guidance. So now when issues arise the elders must approach matters seriously but biblically at all times.
