Answer: Separate from pagan temples.
Explanation: The Jerusalem council’s letter (Acts 15:19–21, 23–29) told Gentile converts to abstain from things polluted by idols (i.e., from pagan temple practices/food offered to idols), from sexual immorality, from blood and from meat of strangled animals. It did not require full submission to the Jewish Law (circumcision), any new sacrifices, avoidance of the synagogue, or that they formulate their own rules.
