"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven" Those keys were given to all believers, not just Peter, and they consist of salvation by the shed blood of Christ, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are the heart of the true church to this day. To those that accept the gifts of the spirit, the Kingdom is here, today. ("These works, and greater shall ye do...")

Those keys were given to all believers, not just Peter...That's not scriptural.

There is NO indication in the Bible that the grant of the keys was to anyone other than Peter. The "power to bind and loose" WAS given (later) to the other Apostles, and the Church has always taught that that authority continues in the authority of the Pope, and to a more limited extent, to bishops and priests.
