Why Remission of Sins Different Between Gentiles & Jews?

[Rhema]

And water baptism has nothing to do with the Jews obtaining salvation when it was plainly written and spoken to the Gentiles that believing in Him is how they were to receive the remission of sins & the gift of the Holy Ghost came as a result way before water baptism.

The above is the core of your OP.

And you provide scripture from Acts 2 and Acts 10 as supporting proof.

But let's look at your first assertion, "water baptism has nothing to do with the Jews obtaining salvation," and yet one directly reads...

(Acts 2:38 KJV) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.​

I'm not sure how much more simple it can be written. These two assertions plainly contradict one another.

1. water baptism has nothing to do with the Jews obtaining salvation
2. Repent, and be baptized

Now with regards to Jews and water baptism:

(Matthew 3:1-6 KJV) In those days came John the Baptist, ... saying, Repent ye: ... Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.​

(Matthew 4:17 KJV) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.​

You seem to find significance in a distinction that the Jews were to be water baptized first in order to then receive the Holy Spirit, while the Gentiles (the family of Cornelius) received the Holy Spirit only by believing. Yet Peter still had them baptized. Furthermore, Peter COMMANDED them to be water baptized.

(Acts 10:47-48 KJV) Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.​

What? You think Peter was wrong? That he was just "covering all bets"? Or is both Belief and water baptism necessary for salvation, and it doesn't matter in which order?

(Mark 16:16 KJV) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.​

Why does this verse just bounce off of you? It's at the end of Mark. There's no distinction between Jew and Gentile. Why do you deem it unimportant? Jesus didn't.

(Matthew 28:19 KJV) Go ye therefore, and teach (DISCIPLE) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:​

The verb "Disciple" is written in the IMPERATIVE MOOD. That means it's a command. Do you think anyone could become a disciple without first repenting? And then what is to follow? The apostles are to "baptize" them. Do you think Jesus meant "Holy-Spirit-baptize" them as if somehow the disciples did this thing? Or did Jesus command that they be water baptized? And the text literally states, "ALL NATIONS." And that would include the Jews along with the Gentiles. Why are you so hell-bent on disobeying the command of Jesus to water baptize?

The gospel is the same to the Jews as it is to the Gentiles.

Indeed it is. Look at the gospel preached to the Jews:

(Mark 1:14-15 KJV) Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.​

Jesus discipled the Jews to repent and believe. But believe what? The Gospel. And what is the Gospel? Since the Father sent Jesus Christ His Son to preach the Gospel, the Gospel is what Jesus preached. ALL of it.

You seem to think that one part is more important than the other... You seem to think that one part is somehow frivolous or worthless and can be ignored... that Repentance, Belief, and Water Baptism can somehow be dissected by a razor, cutting the words of Jesus into three pieces, with one arrangement for Jews and another for Gentiles. Yet, as you yourself have said, the Gospel is the same.

There is a centurion in Mat. 8 and Luke 7. While I agree that the text does not specifically indicate that this centurion is indeed the Cornelius in Acts 10, to whom else would God Himself send an angel, if not a person of GREAT FAITH ??

(Matthew 8:10 KJV) When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.​

I think you are stuck on minutia, and ignoring the big picture, dissecting the scripture like a dead frog, and cannot hear its beautiful ribbit.

Repent, Believe, be Water Baptized, Obey, be Filled.​

Are you going to misuse scripture by thinking that it's some computer program designed to teach you steps A, B, then C ??

It isn't.
