Just what did Peter know about His death, burial and resurrection? Please show me one scripture in Acts 2 wherein Peter preached the Good News that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the 3rd day for our salvation. That we are saved by grace through faith, not of works, that there is neither Jew nor Greek now, These are the Gospel of the Grace of of God.
When Peter stood up and gave his great sermon in Acts 2 he wasn’t giving good ridings of great joy to those Jews gathered for Pentecost.Read it carefully.
He began his sermon telling them that they were in the last days that Joel prophesied about. And the Holy Spirit being poured out on them to prepare them to go through the wrath that was about to come. And the imminent return of The Messiah, Jesus Christ, who he flat out accused them of murdering. What kind of Gospel of the Grace of God is this?
When they cried out what could they do he told them 2 things they could do for the remission of their sins: repent and water baptism.
Repent of what? Of everything his sermon lated on their guilty shoulders.
Why would he tell them to repent and be baptized for their remission of sins if he knew that the death, burial and resurrection of Christ was for their remission of their sins.
Paul wrote in 1Tim.1:16 that in him first he had shown all long-suffering to and mercy, for me a PATTERN for them which should HEREAFTER believe on Him to life everlasting. “HEREAFTER” what? HEREAFTER Paul. He was given the Gospel of the Grace of God to preach to both Gentiles and believing Jews. That’s what the Gospel of the Grace of God is about, a Body of believers. With a heavenly inheritance.
Peter and the eleven were given the Gospel of the Kingdom to preach, which they fulfilled until Israel was blinded and set aside at the end of Acts. They will once again take their place of prominence when God restores their sight and begins dealing with them as a nation again. That’s what the Tribulation is about. That is what the Gospel of the Kingdom is about. A Kingdom of believers. With an earthly inheritance.
If Paul was given the Gospel of the Grace of God to preach directly from Christ, and he wasn’t saved until Acts 9 how could Peter possibly have preached about it? Read Acts 2 and see that not once does Peter speak of the Cross as good news.
Acts 2:21-41
Maybe what you see as a gospel of grace is really disguised as a gospel that doesn’t include repentance. A sort of license to sin.
Just note, the Apostle Paul and the church do not share the same Jesus and gospel..
That’s not Peters problem.
Nor is that Paul’s problem.
That’s the Church riding a Beast problem.
Now that’s a gospel of Grace.
That a church can ride the Beast and still not end up in a lake of fire.
Amazing Grace indeed..
Simple - Peter and Paul preached the same Gospel - the Gospel of Jesus
Peter preached to the gentiles and converted gentiles first. As did Thaddeus, Bartholomew and Thomas
Paul was an erudite Pharisee from Tarsus. The others were simple men who spoke
The teachings of the Church of Thomas - the Mar Thomite, are the same as that of the Catholic or Orthodox with respect to there not being two separate dispensations
The dispensationalist philosophy is a modern one
