How can today's Christians justify a water baptism after Jesus said Acts 1:5 w/o using Scriptures from Peter not REMEMBERING (Acts 11:15-17)?

JESUS SAID IN ACTS 1:5

“For John truly baptized with water; (((BUT))) [Contrast on preceding in this sentence] ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.”

HOWEVER PETER SAID WATER IN ACTS 2:38 WHEN HE SAID

"...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."

BUT AS PETER "WAS REHEASING THE MATTER" (I CORINTHIANS 11:4) IN ACTS 11:15-17 HE SAID

15 "And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 

16 (((THEN REMEBERED I THE WORD OF THE LORD,))) how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

(((PRECISELY))) WHAT JESUS SAID IN ACTS 1:5!  (((VERBATIM AS TO WHAT PETER DIDN'T REMEMBER!))

17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?"

PETER "REPENTED" IN ACTS 11:17.

HOW CAN TODAY'S CHRISTIANS STILL JUSTIFY A WATER BAPTISM AFTER JESUS SPOKE ACTS 1:5 BUT PETER SAID WATER BAPTISM (ACTS 2:38) AND (((DIDN'T REMEMBER))) UNTIL ACTS 11:15-17?

DON'T THEY REALIZE THEY'RE FOLLOWING PETER AND NOT JESUS AS THOUGH 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PETER IS THEIR FIRST POPE<<<<<<<<<<<<<

LIKE THEIR CATHOLIC (((CULT))) BELIEVES?

Update:

@NOUS

"We have the mind of Christ" (I Corinthians 2:16) Who has "one mind" (Philippians 2:2) after "...all are baptized into One Spirit" (I Corinthians 12:13).  However, the LYING catholic church taught today's Christians a powerless trinity-water baptism takes precedent over Jesus' baptism "with the Holy Ghost" (John 1:33; Acts 1:5) Who gives (((POWER))) (Acts 1:8) to become Christians (John 1:12-13).

Update 2:

Without His (((POWER))) people remain "DEAD spirits" (Rm 5:12-14) and "the DEAD knows nothing at all" (Ecclesiastes 9:5).

Therefore when one "knows nothing at all" they create ANYTHING (II Peter 1:20-21) which today's Christians have done (((EVIDENCED))) by the 39.5K+ so called "Christian denominations."

Update 3:

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares (Hebrews 13:2)!

Update 4:

@USER

DO YOU MEAN BY (((BELIEVING YOUR BRAINWASHING))) FROM YOUR LYING CATHOLIC (((CULT))) VS  WHAT (((IS WRITTEN?)))

Update 5:

@MALCOLM

You can (((NEVER))) remove Peter (((DID NOT))) ***REMEMBER*** (Acts 11:15-17) no matter how you (((TRY))) to evade THE TRUTH!

Sounds like you're suffering from JWism who TOTALLY "FORGET GOD" (Psalm 9:17) SAID HIS WORD to remain in their (((CULT'S))) doctrine (Hebrews Chapter 1 & 2; I Cor 12:11-13) as you are (((TRYING))) to remain in your (((CULT'S))) powerless trinity water baptism doctrine which indicates you believe A MAN can baptize you better (Matt 28:19) than GOD (John 1:33)!

    It's too bad Philip isn't alive today to answer your question (Ac 8).

    Christians will seek the guidance of a known miracle worker like him who was used by the HS to preach the gospel to others rather than a charlatan like you.

    Peter's memory is never questioned in scripture, but rather quite the reverse, 2 Pet. 1:16-21.  Your "Catch-22" Holy Spirit theory fails again.  You would have one pray for the "Holy Spirit" baptism, but would need the Holy Spirit before doing that, thus a "Catch-22" trap.

    and the example of the apostles

    as clearly described in The Book of Acts.

    YOU, yes, YOU prove why Christianity has been split into over 39,500 different denominations, sects and cults setting Christian against Christian and Christians against everyone else!

    STOP PRETENDING TO BE CHRISTIAN AND TELL US WHAT SECT OR CULT YOU FOLLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jesus never said anything, he never existed. Today's christians do whatever they want.
