Let me ask you something..if Paul was given the same commission that Peter and the 11 had, why didn't he just become one of the 12? If their commission was the same, and Matthew 28:19 was continued throughout Paul's saving and revelations from the risen Christ, why not just make him the 12 th disciple, and send all of them to "all nations, teaching them all to "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...." ?

What part of " My Gospel" (Romans 16:25,26) is difficult to understand? What part of Galatians 1:11, 12 is difficult to understand?

The course of your logic is flawed and I would have to go back several posts to find the fork where it has gone off in a direction that no other Protestant has gone.

I am not arguing that Paul’s commission is not different from Peter’s and the others. He brought THE Gospel to the Gentiles, not a new Gospel, not some secret hid in God that the others were not in on.

It’s contradictory.

When Jesus spoke those words to Peter and the others, Paul was Saul and was not yet of Christ.

Sigh. Once again, the dodge. You'll have to ask Jesus if He was just kidding around. I don't think He was. You, obviously do.
