Initially Peter taught as Paul did, but later on got caught up in pandering to the Jewish believers. Peter and Paul had quite a falling out over this 'doctrinal issue' for a time and eventually Peter came back around.
Peter had supposedly spent years paling around with Jesus. Paul never met Jesus. But Paul shows up and flimflams Peter about Jesus. So Peter was an imbecile.
Ah, no. Peter was an apostle geared toward converting OT Jews to Christianity.
Paul was Tasked by Christ personally to Preach to Everyone else.
Peter also wanted to reach out to the gentiles as he saw need and saw evidence that the Holy Spirit can be given to both, he just caved under pressure by the jews to convert to judaism first.
Paul just stuck to the original message peter himself taught.
