Hello Rocking Robin as for Acts 2,38 and saving sinners you better bet it was for the whole Nation of Israel was going to be lost read Matt. Ch. 8 v. 12. Except for Peter, James, John and rest of the Apostles plus the 70 including all the others that believed Jesus Christ was the Messiah, the Son of Living God. They are called the elect. If you Read Matt. Ch. 16 v. 19 Peter would be given the keys to get into Heaven because the nation of Israel was going to reject Christ as their Messiah to have their kingdom on earth. Back to Peter and the keys the first key was the Holy Spirit coming down at Pentecost. The second key was Peter going to the first Gentiles, Cornelius and his house whole being saved. Notice the Holy Spirit fell on these Gentiles, no laying of hands because Paul at the time was out in the Arabian desert being taught or prepped the Gospel of Grace of God by Jesus Christ Himself. Acts 2,38 had nothing at the time to do with the Gentiles.
