Faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins in order to inherit eternal life.
There's ONLY one Gospel for today in this "Dispensation of Grace", and that's the Grace Gospel that Paul received from the "Ascended Lord Jesus Christ." Any other gospel is considered "Another gospel."
I have a strong feeling you merely "glance over" the Grace Gospel and don't really adhere to it?
How many here on this thread have been sealed, indwelt, and baptized (not by water) into The Body of Christ?

Mad has wrongly divided Jesus right out of preaching HIS OWN GOSPEL. Go figure.
A "true believer" has the righteousness of Christ and the guarantee of eternal life. Such a one cannot lose that guarantee by any means.
What does this verse mean? Matthew 15:24 "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
The majority of posters on TOL do not adhere to "The Grace Gospel" or its teachings. Paul said in Romans 2:16 "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." Paul's Gospel was/is The Grace Gospel.
I advise all those who don't know if they have a guarantee of eternal life to read and study Paul's writings: Romans through Philemon.

He also said:
Jhn 6:28
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jhn 6:29
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
That doesn't negate the fact that Christ was ONLY speaking to the lost sheep of Israel in that verse. You've proven nothing.
Acts 2:38 and Acts 13:38: why didn't Paul mention baptism?
Interesting that a few verses later MAD is evidenced:
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul. Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has commanded us:‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles,
That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
-Acts 13:45-47
No it isn't. Looks like the failure is on you.

Peter didn't mention it either until they responded to the message.
Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?"
Pauls audience rejected the message.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.
Paul mentions baptism plenty. Here when he finds people hadn't received the Holy Spirit “when they believed” Paul asks them about their baptism, not did they believe or what gospel they heard but what baptism did they receive. When he finds it was Johns, he baptizes them again “in the name of Jesus” then gives them the Holy Spirit.
Acts 19:1 It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. 2 He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." 3 And he said, " Into what then were you baptized? " And they said, "Into John's baptism." 4 Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus." 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
Yes, Paul mentions it at times, but he never says it's necessary. Peter did.
But here's the root of the issue: Were the 12 sent to baptize? Was Paul?
(John 3:16 KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It's about time someone posted John 3:16, but if you think that's the be all, end all of the gospel, of any gospel, you're sadly mistaken, and very lost.
