Understood. I'm not buying into papal authority by any means. But Peter certainly was given "the keys." My skepticism turns on the assignment and reassignment and re-reassignment etc. of those keys to and by his successors in the bishopric of Rome. There are a lot of perspectives on this. A recent one provides a great summary (attached).

There was a man without a wedding garment on at the wedding that was cast into outer darkness.
When we are baptized into Christ, we have put on Christ.
Scary stuff to think we have the wedding garment on without being baptized in the groom’s name.

Are their garments cleansed by the Blood of Jesus... or by being dunked in water?
Which is more powerful, the Blood of Jesus or H2O ???
Neither of your questions are worthy questions. They make a mockery of God's teaching.
Baptism is the time in the life of the repentant believer when God "cleanses the garments". That is the occasion when God forgives the sins of the repentant believer and gives him the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is the instant time when the lost sinner is forgiven and he becomes a saved child of God. It is the instant when he is born again, when, though he was once dead in trespasses and sins, he is made alive again to walk in the newness of life.
Acts chapter 2.
God gives holy spirit to some people, both sons and daughters.
To prophesy is to teach.
Shepherds are teachers.
1 Corinthians chapter 2.
Many people have spirit of stupor. Those who are carnal minded have spirit of error.
Only few have holy spirit.
Romans chapter 11.
Israel didn't obtain whats it seeks, but the election obtained it, rest were blinded.
God's election have holy spirit.
Many people have spirit of stupor.
Shepherds are still to plant seeds for God. Whether they have spirit of stupor or holy spirit.
Jesus might germinate those seeds.
It's up to Jesus, if someone is spirtualty blind or has holy spirit.
Someone can have spirit of stupor. Then 10 years later they have spirit of truth. Only Jesus can germinate those seeds.
There's time coming. When satan as antichrist comes 6th trump to Jerusalem.
People will either have seal of God or mark of beast.
Those who have mark are biblically illiterate, spirtualty dead.
Those who have seal of God, have holy spirit.

No, I just go back to the original. I don’t trust modern theologians with my salvation.
I have a Bible that tells me how to be saved… They said Peter and the rest of the apostles, men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said under them, repent to be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…
This is for everybody. This is what you shall do. If you shall not do this, you shall keep your sins.
I haven't denied any of that. Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is when God forgives your sins and gives you the gift of the Holy Spirit.
You don't get to Christ without baptism. Part of the sin cleansing process...just like repentance.
Yes, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is how you get(put on) Christ. Perfect post.

This is not in the Bible?…
Then Peter said, under them, repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…

See post #178 from the link below:
Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation
No, even Paul taught that we are buried with him through baptism. You cannot be buried with him unless you are baptized in his name. You guys are just lazy. Too lazy to go fill a tank and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins. Lazy, lazy lazy. You believe in...
