What is it and how is one saved?
Wow.The "good news" gospel is what the Jews would be teaching today from Jerusalem had they not rejected their calling, rejected the original gospel. Jesus lived the gospel for the cause of our salvation. But tragically the original "good news" changed after Jesus returned to heaven. Largely discarded by Judaism the Pagan world was found receptive to a "new good news gospel" in that they already had beliefs about human/divine sacrifice.
This is the "good news", we are saved by faith and the responsibility that comes with it. The good news to those who lived under the oppressive yoke of ritualistic, legalistic self righteous religion was that ALL men and women of the earth are in fact Sons and Daughters of God, that by faith each of us may realize this ennobling truth. The Kingdom of God is comprised of the spiritual community among believers. In the kingdom there are no boundaries, races, creeds, doctrines or nationalities. We are all one faith family. Unity not uniformity.
An accomplished fact:
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Rom 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Hi Jamie, yes the grace of God has appeared to all men and is our teacher (Titus 2:11 KJV). That is in contrast to the law being Israel's (and those associated with Israel) schoolmaster to bring them unto Christ (Galatians 3:24 KJV)."For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives, in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works." Titus 2:11-14
For His glory, for His love!
As usual, the catholic has none

What is yours?Hi Jamie, yes the grace of God has appeared to all men and is our teacher (Titus 2:11 KJV). That is in contrast to the law being Israel's (and those associated with Israel) schoolmaster to bring them unto Christ (Galatians 3:24 KJV).
But, it is God ("but God" Ephesians 2:4-9 KJV) Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace (Titus 3:4-7 KJV) that is ("but is now") made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ (to the apostle Paul), Who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:9-11 KJV). Hence the question, What is the gospel of YOUR salvation?
Is this not Good News? He is our salvation in this age and the next. His Spirit now.

When one trusts the Lord after hearing and believing the word of truth, they are saved (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). That is also when we are baptized by one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV) and sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV).The more pertinent question is when is on saved?
