The evidence is mixed. There were several competing sects of Judaism in the first century CE, as well as wandering preachers who gathered groups of followers, although those groups never achieved the size or longevity to be called sects. Since Christianity was considered at that stage to be another sect of Judaism, there should have been no bar to Peter preaching Christianity in Jerusalem. Paul, in his epistles, also portrays the Jerusalem church as being at peace with mainstream Jews. However, Acts tells us that Peter was persecuted by the leaders of the two dominant sects, for preaching in Jerusalem. On this evidence, Peter was not welcome to preach in Jerusalem.

Why did Peter first refuse to go preach to Cornelius?

A:Paul seems to have made no attempt to avoid confronting Peter. In Galatians chapter 2, from verse 11, Paul says that he publicly rebuked Peter for not treating uncircumcised Christians as equals. Their differences seem to have been over Peter's insistence that gentiles could not become Christians without first becoming Jews and his refusal to be seen eating with them.

Why was Peter's vision important?

A:In Acts 10:10-20, Peter had a vision in which he was called upon to eat non-kosher food, which he soon realised was a call to preach to the gentiles. Soon afterwards he was the leading supporter in Jerusalem for this cause.This vision is important because it counters Paul's earlier claim that he was called by God to preach to the gentiles, and that Peter had resisted doing so, even eating separately from Paul's gentile converts when they ate non-kosher food (Galatians 2:12).In my view the purpose of Acts was to compare Peter and Paul, in order to show Peter to be the greater apostle. George Wells (Evidence for the Historical Jesus) quotes A. J. Mattill as saying that the dominant view of Acts' presentation of Paul is that in Acts and the epistles there are two Pauls, the historical Paul of the authentic epistles and the legendary Paul of Acts.
