We are NOT IN the kingdom gospel of Peter. We are in the God's Gospel of Grace according to God the Father and His instrument the Apostle Paul which is clearly stated in Ephesians and other epistles - if you care to read and learn how to righty divide the Word of Truth:

Ephesians 3:1: For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

Ephesians 3:2: If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

Ephesians 3:3: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

Ephesians 3:4: Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

Ephesians 3:5: Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

Ephesians 3:6: That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Ephesians 3:7: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

Ephesians 3:8: Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Ephesians 3:9: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Ephesians 3:10: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

Ephesians 3:11: According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

Ephesians 3:12: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

If you deny these truths, then you are making God out to be a liar.

Romans 2:16: In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Romans 16:25: Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

I Corinthians 9:17: For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

Ephesians 6:19: And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel

Now - provide us proof with Bible Scripture alone that we are NOT IN the Gospel of God's Grace! The onus is upon you Judith Anne; where is your Scripture proof to the contrary?

Very humorous! Are you the pope of Free Republic? Here’s some news: you are not anyone’s religious authority, you have no right to command anyone to do anything, and you make me laugh.

Hmmm, all these people declared saved with no mention of baptism, but by faith. No mention of confession, a eucharist, last rites, baptism, nothing but faith in Jesus.

Luke 18:9-14 9He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10"Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' 13But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' 14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

Luke 23:42-44 42And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." 43And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

Luke 19:1-10 1 He entered Jericho and was passing through. 2And there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. 3And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small of stature. 4So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. 5And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today." 6So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully. 7And when they saw it, they all grumbled, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." 8And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold." 9And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

Luke 24:45-48 45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

Romans 4:3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness."

Galatians 3:5-7 5Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— 6just as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"? 7Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.
