Do the Synoptics tell us how to be saved?

What are Jesus own conditions for a person to be saved or to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

Not Paul's conditions, but Jesus own criteria?

Not John's version of Jesus, but rather Matthew, Mark and Luke's version of Jesus?

Galatians 2:11-13New International Version (NIV)

Paul Opposes Cephas

11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.

Barnabas and Paul had a loud bust-up when they disagreed on whether or not Mark should go with them on a mission. So yes, Barnabas would possibly disagree with Paul on other things.

Peter was known quite well to defer to people WAY below even Christ's authority. (Before the cock crows....?) He had a lot to learn, and because he was a God-fearing man, he did eventually learn how to reign in his temper and his prejudices.

Regardless the text indicates nothing other than a directive coming from James himself. So was James in error.

Where does it indicate that?

I have shown textual support that it came from James. Could you show some that would refute that claim?

You haven't quoted that textual support. I asked you to do that please.

I didn't think I was amused. OK. Whatever you say.
