Peter tells the Jews that there would be a time of refreshing that would come (future tense). The sending of Jesus is sending Him in Judgement. All this were to be restored hence restitution of ALL things.
Having ones sins being blotted out was part of being converted, hence the wording of Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out the act of conversion is in the whole package of the water and Spirit birth of Acts 2:38. Repentence is a must and baptism cannot be performed on those who have not believed and have not repented.

but the question would be why didn't he mention baptism in acts3:19 when preaching to a different group then acts 2:38??
