God does not do things from His point of view "after" something happens.
So--after these repented and were water baptized--are you claiming God did not respond with the forgiveness of sins?

Acts 2:38--King James Version (KJV)
38 Then Peter said unto them, 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.

Do you believe the forgiveness of sins is God's grace?
