“Peter here was simply telling them to call upon the Lord Jesus, as he had prior said they would be saved by, by confessing Him in baptism.”
Then you claimed this was consistent with that.
“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:10)”
In the first case Peter said “confessing Him in baptism”. In the second Paul said “with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”.
Do you really see those two as consistent?
Do you really see those two as consistent?
Yes, as i explained more than once, if you read them thru. There is no real difference as both are a confessional response, rather than being saved while comatose. And neither is salvation by works even though man makes a response, as the response does not earn them salvation, while it is God who draws them, opens the heart, grants repentance and faith, (Jn. 6:44; 12:32; Acts 11:18; 16:14; Eph. 2:8,9) so that a convert has done what he could not and would not otherwise do.
