Paul led the faction against doing so (being strongly convinced of salvation by faith/knowledge alone), while James led the faction in favor. Paul depicted the view of James as being that of salvation by ritual (praxis), even though the epistle of James demonstrates that he had concern not just for adherence to the Mosaic Law, but also for the importance of compassion and ethical action. Since Paul and his followers won the debate within the church, the church has been drawn to a course that favors salvation by faith/knowledge while also mistrusting the view that stresses compassion.

I don't think so. Read Galatians 2:7.
