No argument with Slade on that point. I simply wanted to point out that Paul was there to win people to Christ, not to be there because he shared their opinions or preferred their fellowship to that of others.Slade wrote:
Paul, even when he was noted as believing in Messiah, was allowed to engage conversation within the Synagogue. This would not be allowed for an apostate.

Should we not keep in mind that Paul's stated desire was to be all things to all people that he might win some to Christ?
I don't think this truth about Paul's desire is contrary to Slade's point in any way. Slade's point is that Paul was allowed to share in synagogues because of his standing as a rabbi of the Pharisee sect. I'm sure his being a student of Gamaliel was impressive to them and caused them to desire to hear him share with them.
