I do not know who this "prior member" was, but you should check your sources. In other words, Peter neither stated the above, nor did he claim anything in relation to it, nor did he set any such precedent.
Act 15:13
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
Act 15:14
Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Act 15:15
And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
Act 15:16
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
Act 15:17
That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
James did the speaking here. Not Peter.
Nope.
In reality, Peter stated no such thing.
For starters, all throughout scripture, David's throne is an earthly throne, and never a heavenly throne. If you believe otherwise, then cite us even a single scriptural example to back your totally erroneous assertion. Furthermore, whenever a throne in mentioned in heaven in the New Testament, it is never called "David's throne." Instead, it is always called "God's throne," and nowhere is this more evident than in the book of Revelation.
Here. Follow this link, and you will find every instance in the New Testament where the word "throne" appears.

Go ahead. Find even a single instance in scripture where a heavenly throne is called "David's throne." You will never be able to do the same because no such reference exists. Instead, you will repeatedly find instances where the throne in heaven is called "God's throne." In fact, Jesus said the following after being exalted to heaven.
Rev 3:21
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
According to Jesus Christ, he is seated with his Father in his (God's) throne, and he made a clear distinction between his Father's throne and "my throne" or his own throne.
When will Christ sit on "my throne" or "his throne?"
Jesus plainly told us when this will occur.
Mat 19:27
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
Mat 19:28
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Mat 25:31
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Mat 25:32
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
When Christ returns to establish the kingdom of God here on earth, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory, or then shall he inherit the promised throne of David.
Luk 1:30
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
Luk 1:31
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Luk 1:32
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Luk 1:33
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
It is at this time, the time of Christ's second coming, that Christ will not only sit upon the throne of David, but the Apostles will also sit upon twelve thrones while judging the twelve tribes of Israel. It is also at this time, the time of Christ's second coming, that the saints will inherit the kingdom which has been prepared for them from the foundation of the world.
All that you have proven in your arguments here is that you do not know what you are talking about. My advice to you would be to stop posting more error, and to start humbling yourself before God to determine why your end-times theology is so out of sync with the word of God.
