here is an example of what Jesus commanded the disciples:
Matt 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. a different gospel than Paul's
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Do you also doing these? If not you are in violation to Matt 28:19, 20
Act 8 doesn't command Baptism or tell Christians or anyone to Baptize. It is an example of an apostle being obedient to Christ command of Matt 28. and remember the Ethiopian Eunuch was a Proselytize to Judaism.

"Matthew 28 was spoken to the (ye) 12 apostles and Jewish disciples."
"Do you also doing these? If not you are in violation to Matt 28:19, 20"
You are selectively quoting passages and forgetting their context brother.
In Matthew chapter ten the disciples were told
not to go to the Gentiles "But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Matthew 28 is
after the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and he tells them to go to
all nations! It is
not Jewish and that command has not been rescinded.
THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOSPELS AND ACTS
1Ti 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words,
even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
1Ti 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, …
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Eph 2:20 And ARE BUILT UPON THE FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF CORNER STONE;
The Book of Acts is indeed a transitional book; but so are the four Gospels. You can give to the Jew what is the Jew's; to the Greek what is the Greek's; and to the church what is the church's
without discarding the whole book! Where else can you find the “wholesome words of the Lord Jesus Christ” but in the Gospels and the beginning of the Book of Acts? Imagine a spiritual building of Ephesians 2:19, 20 without a foundation.
Ultradispensationalism give you that floating building.
The law of commandments contained in ordinances (Eph 2:15, 16) was permitted for awhile, alongside the preaching of the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world (John 1:19) however,
it was abolished at the cross as far as God was concerned. The Book of Acts records historically the phasing out of the old economy and the phasing in if the new. In God's mind however, the old economy was finished
“at the cross” (Eph 2:15,16).
The veil was rent in the Gospels not in the Epistles!
Some Christians cut the Bible up to the point that they may as well make a wallet out of it.
