Acts 10:28-29, " 28 And he said to them, “You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean. 29 So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me.”
Luke 16:16-17, " 16 “The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it. 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void.

He is preaching to the Jews only at Acts 3. They were always under the Law of Moses then.
It will be redundant and silly for him to add "Oh by the way, you still have to follow the Law of Moses even after you believe in Jesus as your promised Messiah"

Act 3:22-26 KJV
(22) For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
(23) And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Those who reject the teaching of Jesus will be destroyed.
(24) Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
(25) Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
(26) Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Jesus saves us from the bondage of the law which Jesus ended. It is this law of Moses that binds us with the chains of our iniquities.

Not so, and in the end it was this Jewish prejudice that killed all the apostles. So instead of condemning the law outright and being killed, they pointed to Jesus and showed them a better way.
And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God: (Act 3:8-9 KJV)

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
This is Peter. Telling Jews. That Salvation is by the Lord Jesus and not by any other means.
Peter doesn't know yet, it would appear, that the Old Covenant was abolished in Christ.
He only knows that Salvation is in Christ. And it is not in Moses, as of Acts 3-4.
By Acts 15 Peter is telling Jews that they shouldn't attempt to put a yoke on the Gentiles that they, and all Jews, can't bear.
So after God revealing what He did to Peter in Acts 10, Peter knew it was over.

Peter didn't know what a stumbling block that Judaism is until a little bit later.

Even though you think he never knew Jesus died and resurrected for our sins.

You can say something like " oh,well yeah,he preached the gospel of the kingdom to the Jews only."
Will work well for anyone unsuspecting you twisted it!!

Nevertheless Peters ministry began with the Jews. Not that it makes any difference . There is a beginning for the apostles ministry and there was an end. Things changed. My point is that Peter had his problems in His beginning. All the apostles had to feel their own way in their ministry. Remember it was only Paul who received a complete revelation of the Church and its destiny.
Yes, as I have told Rick previously in this thread, Peter did not realize the Law was over until after God in Acts 10 started to save Gentiles independent of Law and circumcision.
So if you agree with this, again, this showed that what Peter preached in Acts 3-4 cannot be the same gospel of grace given to Paul.
But I know you are going to stick to your guns here so let us agree to disagree.
