Exactly.
Peter told those Jews......."repent and be water baptized"......because those JEWS in Acts 2, were told by Peter......"you have slain your Messiah".....and they said........>"what must we do".
Peter told them.....>>"repent and be water baptized"........and that is NOT the Gospel.
That is what John the Baptist was teaching the Jews, before Jesus showed up to start His Ministry.
See, here is the thing.
If you dont know something, you can't teach it or preach it.
So, Peter didnt know that Gentiles could become Christians, so, until he learned this, he was not preaching the True Gospel.
Paul received "the Gospel of the Grace of God" from Jesus, Himself. Peter did not., and that is why the Gospel comes from Paul..
This is why Paul refers to his Gospel, as "MY Gospel".... "that i received from no man, but came from Jesus Himself".
no you mess up yet again .
PETER preached JESUS to them ,
then after they beleived he had them water baptized .
JUST like even paul had done for a few ,
THEY preached the one same gospel dude .
And yes the early church actually did water baptize
not because they believed as did the RCC
but rather simply because JESUS had said to do this .
They all preached the death , burial and ressurection of CHRIST , the DIRE NEED TO BELIEVE ON HIM .
That is what they all preached to every jew , to every gentile . and of course the new converts
were also water baptized . but again not with the mindset that some think today
as they seem to forget WHO exactly can be water batpized , as pour water on babies and etc
HERE IS WHO is to be water baptized .
SEE here is water , what does HINDER ME from being baptized .
And the answer is , YE MUST BELIEVE BELEIVE AND BELIEVE that JESUS IS THE CHRIST .
so yeah babies dont know squat . people act like the water saves . JESUS SAVES
but of course we still water baptize the new converts .
