Polemic
A polemic is a controversial argument, as one against some opinion, doctrine, etc.
At an historic council in Jerusalem, Paul refuted the polemic against the uncircumcised Christian. (Acts 15)
And when Paul and Barnabas had great dissension and debate with them, the brethren determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue. (Acts 15:2, NASB)
Note: This woodcut of the Jerusalem Council was first published in 1702. Its author is unknown.
