This is not really the place to put such a question; it's an
ecclesiastical-historical question which would have to be resolved by
applying a critical methodology independent of the evidence from the Greek
text itself. I would guess that the ELENCHUS list might be the best place
to put that question, or perhaps the ACTS list, since that doesn't seem to
be subject to careful avoidance of questions that will be answered
differently from different faith-perspectives.
