Winman,
the gospel that Peter taught is not the same Gospel that Paul taught. at least not before Acts 9.
there is more than one Gospel.
1 The gospel of the Kingdom
2. The Gospel of Grace
3the Everlasting Gospel.
But you apply to Old and New Testaments only one, the Gospel of Grace. you believe that all men in every dispensation are saved through this same Gospel of grace through the shed blood of Jesus Christ in the cross.
you believe that all Baptisms are the same but there are many.
1. John's Baptism- Baptism for the remission of sins
2. the Baptism of Identification with Christ Practiced today (which is not the baptism of Acts 2 or 3 or 8.) that we use Roms 6 but Roms 6 is actually Spiritual Baptism not water baptism.
3. Spiritual Baptism found in 1Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
4. Baptism for the dead.
5. Baptism of Moses 1Cor 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
But clearly there are more than one Gospel and more than one baptism. How can you deny these facts and claim there is only one Gospel in the New Testament. don't get me wrong I believe there is only one for today the gospel of Grace. but before Acts 9 it was the Kingdom Gospel and in the tribulation will be the Kingdom but towards the end the Everlasting Gospel.
