I know several who hold this view. However, it seems entirely consistent with what we know about Peter for him to be inconsistent. I really don't think Apostleship = sinless perfection either.
Putting that aside, are there other arguments from within the text of Galatians or Acts that would give us a reasonable timeline?
Anyone?
