uh...pardon?
what change of heart?
James made an executive decision on his own?
no, the whole passage is about the very same Judaizing that was condemned by Paul in Galatians!
it says some of the Circumcision party were going down without authorization disturbing the believers, saying: "1Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.”
Who else does it say really ordered what was to be said to the gentiles?
Acts 15
Greetings.
24We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.

you might feel there's something lacking in your Christian life dear friend.
most of us don't.
you're alright with that aren't you?
you know the Gospel is by Grace through faith in Christ's Work.
there is nothing lacking.
anyone born from above will do the good works God ordained that they should walk in.
they are justified; they are sanctified; they are being transformed; they are already seated with Christ in the heavenlies.
nothing lacking.
all scripture is God-breathed and able to make everyone graciously saved perfect for every good work.
if you choose one day over another; or to wear some fabrics and not others; to not mix milk and meat or whatever your traditions are - God Bless you in that.

John 14:26 [SUP] [/SUP]But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
