At the council you have Paul, Barnabas, Judas (Barsabbas), Silas, Mark, Peter, and James. James and Peter are still practicing judaism. I am assuming Paul is still practicing, but what about the rest of these leaders?
It is not as simple as are they still practicing Judaism yes or no as we see with the disagreement between Paul and Peter over eating with gentiles. The Old Testament law says not to but Paul understood that eating with fellow believers was a higher law. So far as we know, the Jewish Christians in the first century all continued to be both Jewish and Christian but probably to different degrees depending on their understanding.
