So, I'll ask again: If Paul was given the same Great Commission as the 12, and he was part of that group of Apostles, why the need for Paul, since Peter and the 11 were ALREADY told to go to all nations?

Why do we need anyone with a mission? Nowhere does it say he rest of the apostles only went to Jews all their life, and in fact out of the whole church that

"were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord." (Acts 11:19-21)

God raised up Hudson Taylor to go to China, and Carey to go to India, and Paul was to go to both Jews and Gentiles, and the last we read of him his is still reaching out to Jews, the former more for judgment.

If Paul was part of the 12, where will he sit in the Kingdom when the 12 are sitting on thrones with Christ, judging the 12 Tribes of Israel (Matt.19:28)??

Yyes, as the promise of doing so is not manifestly restricted to the 12, but "ye which have followed me," forsaking all, as in context:

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. (Matthew 19:27-30)

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? (1 Corinthians 6:2)

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. (Revelation 20:6)

THese are all questions that NEED to be answered if you believe Paul was counted with Peter and the 11.

They are answered, and Paul was counted with Peter and the rest, and counted himself as with them, who were given special revelation, though being the main apostle to the Gentiles.

Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; (Ephesians 3:5)

For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. (1 Corinthians 4:9)

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. (Galatians 2:9)

Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 15:24-26)

IF he shared the same commission, and he was an Apostle, then he should be sitting on a throne with them in the Kingdom. Right?

Indeed, as with all the faithful, though i do not doubt there are different positions
