I've been having a heated discussion with a fellow church member about the differences between James and Paul.  How James was under a different dispensation than Paul, my friend can't buy that.  I was wondering what scriptures I could show him that would back up my argument?  I tried to explain how James was a legalist, that his teaching was faith plus works for salvation, and Paul's teaching is Faith. Can you help?
The way I understand this passage is that the Lord heard Cornelius' prayers. I don't know if He answered them, but I am in a quandary about the Lord hearing the prayers of unbelievers.
