Obviously then, another commission was replacing that given to Peter and the 11 before Christ's ascension.

Really? Then what was that commission? And why were Peter and the other Apostles NOT following that commission? Why was (according to you) only Paul disregarding the Great Commission of Mt. 28:16?

And finally - Please provide Book Chapter Verse for that commission.

You will find Paul's commission in 2 Cor. 5:16-21. Which is also OUR commission in this dispensation of the grace of God. Peter and the 11 were following exactly what they were given: Mark 16. The Kingdom Gospel. AKA the Gospel of the CIRCUMCISION (Gal. 2:7).

"NOW I say that Jesus Christ WAS a minister of the CIRCUMCISION(the HEBREW NATION) for the TRUTH of God, to CONFIRM THE PROMISES MADE UNTO THE FATHERS: And that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written..."(Rom. 15:8,9).

The gospel of the grace of God, AKA the gospel of the UNcircumcision (Gal.chapter 2) is DIFFERENT than the gospel of the circumcision. Meaning, they are NOT THE SAME. This was given to Paul, by direct revelationS from the risen Christ. And so, superceded that of the 12. The gospel of the UNcircumcision is based on GRACE ALONE, NOT on COVENANTS OR PROMISES. THESE messages were previously KEPT SECRET, NOT foretold. They had NO relation to ordinances or signs. They were first committed to the apostle Paul. He refers to his message as MY GOSPEL(Rom. 2:16;16:25;2 Tim. 2:8).

The gospel of the kingdom and the gospel of the circumcision were given to Peter and the 11, for the nation Israel FIRST. BOth were based on COVENANTS. Both were related to PROPHECY. Both were bound up with ORDINANCES AND SIGNS. CIRCUMCISION was the SIGN OF THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT(Gen. 17:11). WATER BAPTISM WAS THE SIGN OF THE DAVIDIC COVENANT(Ex. 29:4, cf. Ex. 19:5,6; Isa. 61:6, Matt. 3:1-6).

Still can't see the DIFFERENCES?
