So what is the Gospel that both Peter and Paul preached? Did Peter preach the same gospel that Paul preached when Christ told him and the 11 in MMLJ to “Go ye and preach the Gospel”? Did Peter preach the same gospel on the day of Pentecost as Paul was given?

>Not sure what you are getting at, but it appears to me it must have been very hard for the eleven apostles, all of them Jews, to attain to the level of revelation that Paul had came to (the hard way) - which we see in everything he wrote.

I.e., a new covenant universal elect people of God by grace of every nation, kindred, tongue, Jew and Gentile - as opposed to a tribal (racial) elect old covenant national people of God by the works of the law...and Christ.

Did the apostles see all this at Pentecost? you would think so, as the great commission was commanded them before Pentecost to go to every nation.

But it took the call of Paul and his revelation, to bring this to a head at the Jerusalem council, and get them all believing the universality of the gospel as Paul saw it, that they were all originally commanded.

I believe in progressive revelation. God progressively revealed the fullness of the universal gospel to the apostles. We have God to thank on this, he’s the one that knocked Saul off his horse to get him to “see the light.”

On that line of thought, All these pretribs will eventually see the light. Even if takes the mark of the beast to get it done. Progressive revelation.
