How could Peter's confession bind anything in heaven or earth? How could Peter's confession have keys to the kingdom given to it.?

A. It is that confession that opens the kingdom of heaven for a believer. That sounds something like a key.

B. As far as binding goes, those verses have always been poorly translated into English. The correct translation is "Whatever you bind on earth will be in a state of already having been bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be in a state of already having been loosed in heaven." In other words, the causality is exactly opposite what many casually think it to be.
