Acts 15 is quite clear. There seems to be no fuss about it, either.

Peter never assumed thatPeter's vision of the unclean animals shows us that he was no longer under the law, but the mads won't have it.
Acts 10:9-16
The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." But Peter said, "Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean." And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed you must not call common." This was done three times.
So the short of it is, God tells Peter to tuck into some unlawful grub, but Peter objects because the animals are unlcean. God says, "don't call unclean what I have cleansed". So.....if Peter can eat what the law says is unclean, he's not under the law, is he?
Now that is about as straightforward as it gets.
Peter never assumed that
Act 10:17 Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision that he had seen might mean
what it says is from this point on gentiles are no longer unclean
just because they are gentiles
can you show Jesus or Peter declaring gentiles
no longer enemies or clean
before this
Act 10:15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God has made clean, you do not call common.

Peter's trance was God showing him that a door had been opened to certain Gentiles. This would prove crucial later (Acts 15:7 KJV declaration by Peter) as it would validate Paul's early ministry going through said door to certain Gentiles.
v.11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
Same Gospel, obviously.
Does the Bible show any of the circumcision apostles telling Jewish believers that circumcision is no longer required?

We know Galatians like the back of our handsEver read Galatians in one sitting? Ahh, I forgot, there are 'isms' out there that don't do Galatians.
Peter never considered himself to be the Apostle to the Gentiles and neither does anybody else.
