Acts 15:22-29 -- The Apostolic letter: the Holy Spirit and the Apostles together impose no greater burden than four essentials. These four are explicitly for sanctification ('you will do well'), not salvation.

Survey of the Apostolic letter text

The letter explicitly invokes the Holy Spirit's authority. It uses the phrase 'no greater burden' indicating deliberate minimalism. The conclusion 'you will do well' indicates these are for sanctification purposes, not salvation. Winger notes the letter condemns the Judaizers who 'disturbed' and 'unsettled souls' without apostolic authorization.
