The part here began with the words: As in Romans 1:16-17 Paul’s interpretation of Habakkuk 2:4 is in complete harmony with the literal meaning of the Old Testament passage, so the Apostle’s quotation in Romans 4:3 of Genesis 15:6 is in full agreement with the literal meaning of Moses.
When the apostle Peter preached the first sermon under the New Covenant, on the Day of Pentecost 33 AD, what did he preach?
1. Peter preached Jesus as a miracle worker. (Acts 2:22)
2. Peter preached Jesus crucified.(Acts 2:23)
3. Peter preached Jesus resurrected from the grave. (Acts 2:31)
4. Peter preached Jesus ascended into heaven. (Acts 2:34)
5. Peter preached Jesus as Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36)
When the men at Pentecost heard Peter preach, they ask Peter and the rest of the apostles what they should do. (Acts 2:37)
What did Peter tell them they should do? Did Peter say "You can be saved just like the thief on the cross, simply ask the Lord to remember you when He comes into His kingdom?" NO, Peter did not say nor did he imply they could be saved like the thief on the cross.
WHAT DID PETER SAY? Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(NKJV)
There are no Scriptures stating that men can be saved like the thief on the cross under the New Covenant terms for pardon.

@ Steve Finnell,
In Acts 10, didn't Peter say, "that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins" (Acts 10:43b). And AFTER Cornelius' house had "received the Holy Ghost", Peter said, "[c]an any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized"(Acts 10:47)?
Can one have the Holy Ghost and not be saved (cf. Eph. 1:13)? That is,weren't that saved before they were baptized?
Justification has always been by repentant faith alone, not by asking,
and the means of receiving salvation always has been repentant faith.
That was what Peter taught in Acts 2:38. Please read my book here:

Dear Steve,
Justification has always been by repentant faith alone, not by asking,
and the means of receiving salvation always has been repentant faith.
That was what Peter taught in Acts 2:38. Please read my book here:
