Matthew 16:15 Jesus said unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 Jesus say's; I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
(NOTE: Peter is the first to openly confess that Jesus was the promised Messiah. Jesus promises him the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Jesus had also told Peter He'd make him a fisher of men, Matt 4:19).
Rom 1:16, 2:9 & 10. Salvation is: 1st to the Jew then to the gentile.
Pentecost 1 of 3 mandatory Jewish pilgrimage Feasts (Deut 16:16). Every male Jew had to travel to the Temple Mt yearly. Acts 2:1 The Temple Mt is crowded, Peter filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4) hauls in 3000 souls (Acts 2:41). Here Peter, becomes a fisher of men. First unlocking the spiritual door to the Kingdom of Heaven to Jews.
Acts 10 the keys Jesus promised Peter (Matt 16:19) are used again by Peter, unlocking the door (spiritual) to the Kingdom of Heaven to the gentile. Approximately 7 years after the 1st post resurrection Pentecost. After a vision & some resistants, the Lord sends Peter to witness to a gentile. A Roman Centurion named Cornelius.
While Peter is speaking the Holy Spirit falls on all the gentiles listening to Peter (Acts 10:44). As Peter spoke, these believing gentiles received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. They had not been circumcised, they had not kept Mosaic laws, they had not brought a sacrifice to the Temple, they had not been water baptized nor had they repented of anything. As Peter spoke, they believed, thru faith & faith alone, these gentiles received God's spiritual seal (2 Cor 1:22, Eph 1:13, Eph 4:30) via the Holy Spirit.
