Paul converses with Peter and James (brother of Jesus), the latter became the first leader of the church of Jerusalem, so there were authority figures to validate teachings. |
I'm pretty sure that all comes secondhand from 2nd century Heterodox leaders. Of course they would have said that. They needed to show that their brand of christianity was better than the heritcal sects of christianity. What better way to do that, than claim that their brand of christianity originated from Jesus' original disciples?
