Hi Nolidad:
Thank you for writing on the Four Baptisms Topic. Again we have areas of disagreement. You wrote to Guojing:
My view is that Guojing has things right and Nolidad has things backwards.
Peter is clearly preaching the "Gospel of the Kingdom" (#1 in my OP) like Philip in Acts 8:12-17 and Paul in Acts 19:1-6 all explained to you repeatedly for which you have no reply.
No. As explained for your benefit many times in this thread, Peter is preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom in Acts 2:36-38 that includes repentance and water baptism for the forgiveness of sins," just like John the Baptist preached from the beginning in Mark 1:1-6 (4). And, what in the heck is going on with this "reoffering" statement? Peter, John, James and all the disciples preached the "Gospel of the Kingdom" all the days of their lives as "the gospel" only knowing about the "gospel I preach among the Gentiles" (Gal. 2:1+2) at the famous meeting in Jerusalem in Acts 15/Gal.2.
Paul characterizes the gospel he received by "a revelation of Jesus Christ" (Galatians 1:11-12) as the "gospel to the Uncircumcised" (Gal. 2:7) that anyone can determine has NOTHING to do with Israel! The fact is that many members here are mixing the two gospels (Gospel of the Kingdom and Gospel of the Grace of God) and two churches (Kingdom Bride and Mystery Body) together with no clue about the vast differences.
Many here are tossing kingdom doctrine and grace doctrine together into a single pot to take out what tastes good to them in direct violation of "rightly dividing" (cutting straight) the Word of Truth (2Tim. 2:15) behaving more like "babes-infants in Christ" (1Cor. 3:1-3) rather than the "mature" (1Cor. 2:6-8) showing you God's wisdom hidden very much in plain sight.
Blessings,

You are misunderstanding the passage.

No, and not even close. Try quoting Peter on the Day of Pentecost actually PREACHING repentance for the "forgiveness of sins" and the point Guojing is making will make perfect sense (for these readers):Let us look at the direct verses.
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.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
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.
Peter was not announcing a near time, but a simple truth that WHEN the times of refreshing come and WHEN the times of restitution come.
"Therefore let all the house of Israel [Matt. 10:6] know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?” Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized (baptism #1 = Mark 1:4) in the name of Jesus Christ (baptism #2 = Matt. 28:19, Mark 16:15-16] for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (laying hands = #3)." Acts 2:36-38.
Peter is clearly preaching the "Gospel of the Kingdom" (#1 in my OP) like Philip in Acts 8:12-17 and Paul in Acts 19:1-6 all explained to you repeatedly for which you have no reply.
Only a preconceived bias says it is a reoffering of the kingdom that Jesus ceased preaching and told that that generation would not see the kingdom. So if this was a reoffering either Peter is lying or Jesus was lying.
