Both those saved according to the “gospel of the kingdom” and those saved according to the “gospel of grace” are “born again from above.” The expression Paul uses in Titus 3:5 is the noun palingennesia, which literally translates as “again-birth.” The meaning of this word is so identical to the verbal expressions in John (John 3:3-7) and Peter (1 Peter 1:3, 23), it’s not possible to conclude the realities so described are not the same.
Both those saved according to the “gospel of the kingdom” and those saved according to the “gospel of grace” are assured of eternal security. Those saved according to the “gospel of the kingdom” are told that knowing God = having eternal life (John 17:3). They are told they possess eternal life (1 John 5:11, 13) and that the one who believes in Christ has passed from death into life (John 5:24). If you have life and then you lose it, it wasn’t eternal.
Paul tells those saved according to the “gospel of grace” that they are alive from the dead (Romans 6:13).
If both groups are born again and can’t lose their salvation, what’s the difference between the supposed two gospels?
