What is beyond dispute, for those who believe in the Bible, is that the authority of the gathered apostles and presbyters to speak with the authority of the Holy Spirit did exist. See the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15). This authority still exists when the gathered bishops meet in ecumenical councils.

There is no “gathered authority.”
The council at Jerusalem didn’t call for anything against scripture; they merely deferred to the teaching in the local synagogue to impart the remainder of the biblical requirements through teaching on “every Sabbath Day.”
It was a common sense counseling, recognizing that Torah took years to learn, and could not be imparted by will.
