2 Tim 1:9-12
The grace of God in Christ was given before time. It was recently revealed through the appearance of Christ.
So it was one grace and Gospel, the Gospel being the event that accomplished it, not the human-response formulas that people debate (baptisms, repentance, lordship, surrender, tongues, etc).

But now the only special people unto the LORD are the members of the Body of Christ and in the Body the Jew is no longer "above all people that are upon the face of the earth."
