Nothing. I'll give you 10:1 that he was. Paul was born into a devout Jewish family. He was brought up by Gamaliel, a leading authority in the Sanhedrin. Most unlikely that he would not have been circumcised at 8 days, according to custom and law. (Circumcision is seen as ratifying God's covenant with Abraham to make the Jews his chosen people)
That's acts, fiction. Textual critics have long doubted pauls backstory (as in, specifically "genuine pauls").
It's a theme with magic book. It wasn't written by the people alleged to have written it, and the people who did write it were rarely who or what they claimed to be.
