Revelation was written by John

One only gets confused when they don't understand scripture correctly. A correct reading of scripture will not result in the mixing of law and grace. There is only one gospel throughout scripture. The troubling idea that there is a separate gospel for a separate people is exactly the kind of perverted false teaching that frustrated Paul while dealing with the Galatians.

Gal 1:6 ¶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 - Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 - But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 - As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 - For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.​

Do you believe Peter viewed the cross as full of shame and guilt? Peter clearly preaches salvation by the blood of Christ.

1Pe 1:17 - And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
1Pe 1:18 - Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
1Pe 1:19 - But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1Pe 1:20 - Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1Pe 1:21 - Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.​

In the book of Acts, when did Peter begin to preach, " Who so ever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins" and not preach repent and be baptized for the remission of sins? Was on Pentecost? Was it in chapter 3, when the lame man was healed? Peter was still preaching the indictment of murder (verse 15). It was in chapter 10 when he preached to Cornelius; verse 43 " To whom all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." Not repent and be baptized for the remission of sins.

Did Jesus, on the cross pay, for the sin of the whole world? If so, even though you were not born yet your sin debt has been paid and remission for your sin had already happened on the cross. If you are condemned to the lake of fire, it is not because of sins, but because of unbelief. If you are baptized for the remission of sins, then, does Christ go back on the cross to pay for you sin debt at that time?

What did Peter say in Acts 3:19, " Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, When the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." When is the time of refreshing? We find that answered in verse 21; Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Are your sins now blotted out and you have been justified by God because of your faith in Jesus Christ his Son? If so, you are not waiting for the times of refreshing to come.
