So, to whom was Peter speaking in your quoted text of Acts?

Thank you.

Acts 2:14 “You who are Jews, indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem. -- Peter was speaking to Jews and to gentiles.

The chapter starts with 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven -- out of every nation

It carries on and says they are 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes

SouthernClaire - I know you have voiced your opinion before that there are two covenants in the New Testament - one to Gentiles and one to Jews
There is a lot of confusion made by people who placed themselves above us by mingling Jewish promises with the heavenly gifts made to the Gentile Church. We are His body and not a part of the earthly Kingdom of Israel. There will be future Gentiles who will be subject to the Kingdom of Israel at Christ’s return to earth to rule and reign when Israel will be head of all the nations, but the Gentile Church period is over before that happens.

shows one that the Gentile Church is a totally different body than the Jewish Church. Much confusion appears when trying to mesh the Jewish epistles with the writings of Paul, our pattern. Peter to the Jews, Paul to the Gentiles and Paul is our pattern. The Gentile Church, saved by grace alone, was a mystery kept secret from the foundation of the world according to Paul. You will see that in the Jewish epistles, references are made to promises to Israel only and refer to an earthly kingdom. Again, we are a heavenly-oriented body as the Gentile Church and we have no promises concerning a future kingdom on earth. God will keep His promises to Israel, but they were put in abeyance with Israel’s final rejection of Christ Jesus until the Gentile Church is taken out of here before the judging of God of the earth
Pardon me, but in my various discussions with people who hold to the pre-Tribulation rapture, I've not met anyone until you who believed that there are two separate covenants - one for gentiles and one for Jews

Is that common among all people who believe in the pre-Tribulation rapture? Or is it just some people who hold to that?

Do you, Roman_War_Criminal or you Boabtums or you Metmom also hold to this concept?
