Nope, Peter looked to the 2nd coming to have his sins blotted out.
Paul looked back to the cross to see his sins blotted out.
Different programs, different peoples, different churches, different purposes, different inheritances.
Keep mixing them, and you will continue in your mass confusion.
I missed this but I think we can say where there is a serious problem now.
Justification vocabulary in Paul uses bookkeeping as well: the main item being 'righteousness' is 'credited/reckoned/transferred.' It is not actually in the person; they will still sin.
Sins being blotted out is also one of those.
When Paul described the Colossian situation, he said that the believers were being 'dis-justified'--he actually took the term for 'credited' and put a negative prefix on it, 2:4 'paralogizomai'--to discredit. It actually was to remove credit--the credited righteousness of Christ.
There are many other examples. Rom 11's 'take away sins' by the Redeemer who came is the same. It is not a full stop of sin, because one other feature is to turn godlessness away. But to 'take away sins' is to deal with the debt.
This is all because there are two aspects to salvation: the solution to debt and the solution to stain. Justification is for the first; it is not an experience. Finding out about it may be a huge thrill and should be, but not the same thing, no more than the sun's light is also its heat.
Transformation is the 2nd thing and is an experience. It is the change of the person in behavior. We are not justified by the 2nd; but it is there. We are only justified by Christ's perfect righteousness.
To get back to Acts 2, then, we can now see that he is not talking about something in the distant future and why would he? Why would THOSE people repent about gaining something that was going to come in the distant future if he was saying it would benefit them now? Talk about mass confusion.
I'll stop there, because I believe this problem is huge, and always has been huge in my experience with D'ist and futurists and 2P2P.
To put it in simplest language: Jn 3:18: 'who ever believes on him is not condemned.' Not condemned is a great gift but it does not mean the end of day to day sin; it refers to the debt.
