You should try the actual Gospels... I recommend John 3:5.
The four gospels are to Jews. Not to Gentiles. Grace is through God’s free gift. That is through the Cross and ONLY through the Cross. 1 Cor 15: 1-4 is the Gospel. Paul makes that plain. I won’t argue the point with you. You have your belief and I have mine. Mine are in the Cross. The Death, Burial and RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ and His free gift of salvation and grace. I put my faith in that. Not in doing a public profession of faith by being dunked in the water, which I was by the way, but that was only AFTER I accepted the Gift, Believed in HIM and the Cross of Salvation.
