Paul preached that we shall not all sleep...

Is this where you are going to conflate the "gospel of the kingdom" with the gospel Paul preached even though the gospel of the kingdom was preached before "Christ died for our sins" which is a crucial element of the gospel by which we are saved (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV)?
Genesis 12:3 KJV And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
And in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Why do you say only some families will be blessed through Abraham? Why?

Acts 10:35
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Not so different than Paul, is it?
2 Corinthians 5:9-11
Wherefore we LABOUR, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences

mystery truth, dear
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

Our "labour" is service after salvation, not for it. Acts 10:35 KJV contradicts Titus 3:5 KJV unless it is said to different people with different requirements! You need to 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV!

Let me get this right - you are saying that Peter was making the statement that because of Cornelius's good works, he was already accepted of God (saved), before Peter mentioned one word about Jesus?
Peter didn't say "because of your works you're already accepted (saved).
If saying he was accepted meant he was already saved, why in the world did Peter go on from that statement and preach Jesus to them, and tell others that God had purified their hearts BY FAITH. Testifying later, Peter said the angel had told Cornelius that Peter would bring words whereby he could BE SAVED, acknowledging that "accepted" did not mean saved.
It's without question that Peter knows Cornelius doesn't keep Moses's law. So we know he's not talking about righteousness by the works of the law.
Peter recognized the fact that Cornelius's hunger for God had attracted God's attention to the point that he had been "accepted" in that God sent Peter to him with the saving Gospel.

Amen.
Excellent point Heir.
Perfect!
Yep!
Heir has done a terrific job of getting the "Pure Truth" out there on this thread. I commend her Faith, sincerity, Spiritual discernment, preaching, logic, choice of Scriptures, and overall consistency in all of these areas, concerning the Grace Gospel. Blessings to you Sister Heir.
There's merely a handful of true members of the Body of Christ on TOL. My congratulations go out to them, as well. They work hard to keep the simplicity/purity of the Grace Gospel and MAD concise and understandable.
Among the Champions of the Gospel/MAD are:
Tambora, Heir, STP, Glorydaz, Steko, Musty, Right Divider, Etc. Blessings on you all.

Good morning to all Grace Gospel believers, MADs, and sincere seekers of truth.
I'm certainly glad to see all the "Riff-Raff" staying away. I'm talking about those who don't want to learn anything from anybody and are just on TOL to disrupt.
If someone is an Atheist/Agnostic and seeking the truth, then, they're welcome to post here or elsewhere on TOL. However, there are those on TOL with anger issues and just want to take them out on somebody else. Those are the one's that should find other outlets, in my humble opinion. Sincere questions and answers are sincerely welcome.
There's only one Gospel for today. There's only one way to receive eternal life. The Bible says in Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." If one desires faith, they can find it in the Bible. Eternal life in Heaven comes by hearing the Gospel and placing ALL of one's faith in Christ as their Savior. Romans 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
