And the Jews under the sound of Peters voice understood those words far differently than we read them today.

How could you possibly know that? None of us were there to hear the "sound of Peter's voice".
The simplicity of the Gospel and God's ordained way of salvation has been lost thru the years much to the detriment of mankind and the Kingdom of the One True God.
I am a converted Jew, raised in a Jewish environment and nothing you've said about
Acts 2:38 rings true with a Jewish "perceptive".
The sin convicted men on the day of Pentecost, those who gladly received the Word were baptized and nothing thereafter tells us to stop that practice, Jew or not.
Later the Word tells us there is neither Jew nor Greek but we're all one in Jesus.
Acts 10:43-48 tells us gentiles were filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in His Name.
I know many of you men here that post are scholars and have the Word of God ready at your fingertips and have spent many years in study.
I'm not in anyone's league that's posting on this thread.
But, I can read and I have been baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evidence in speaking in tongues.
The Word of God isn't as complicated as it's being made to be, and yes that's just my opinion, but I think it's worth saying.
Peace and Truth in Jesus Name.
