There's no such thing as "keys to heaven" in the holy scriptures.

The SEVEN (7) keys revealed by the word of God are:

>1> the key of the house of David (Isa.22:22, Rev.3:7)
>2> the key of knowledge (Lk.11:52)
>3> the key of the bottomless pit (Rev.9:1, 20:1)
>4 & 5> The keys of the kingdom of heaven (Mt.16:19)
>6 & 7> the keys of hell and of death (Rev.1:18)

Peter was told that he would be given the "keys of the kingdom of heaven." The kingdom was opened to Jews in Acts 2, and Gentiles in Acts 10. Peter's role in that regard was finished. The Lord Jesus called Paul as the apostle of the Gentiles, and Paul is set forth as the pattern for them that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from this present evil world. He arose from the dead for our justification through faith in his blood. Trust him with all thine heart. Grace be with you all for Jesus' sake. Amen. --Richard
