'And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles' — the first missionary journey's report introduces the remarkable phrase 'door of faith,' suggesting that Gentile access to the covenant is itself a divine act, not a human initiative. The congregational gathering for report is significant: mission accountability belongs to the worshipping community, and the narrative of 'what God had done' rather than 'what we accomplished' establishes the proper theological grammar for missionary enterprise. This report pattern anticipates the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, where these same Gentile conversions become the evidence for the Spirit's universal work.
