Paul and Barnabas were important in the acts of the apostles chapter 15 because they were the ones who decided to bring up the question to the elders and apostles in Jerusalem about whether or not a gentile must perform a circumcision because the law Moses had put said they must perform a circumcision which lead to the conflict and controversy in this chapter. after the controversy is settled Paul and Barnabas are later told to circulate the news to all the christian gentiles saying that they now do not need a circumcision to be saved by Jesus and that he will still show the path to salvation
