I have no clue why I would continue this since you havent even provided proof of your OP I kept asking you for, but here it goes anyway about a topic that doesn't even belong here that you started on your own thread.
The gospel is not called "the good news". You are confused on WHAT the gospel actually is.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - The gospel is the "death, burial, and resurrection" of Christ Jesus.
Bam, in a nutshell, that's it.
How do you OBEY the gospel?
Romans 6:1-5
Bam, in a nutshell, we are to die to our sin casting off the "old man" being buried with Him (ie baptized in water), and rising a new creature in Christ Jesus (aka Galatians 3:27) -those where were baptized - putting on Christ. Only those IN Christ Jesus, receive the spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3- notice hint hint- spiritual blessings are "IN Christ") the only way to be IN Christ is to be baptized Gal 3:27; Romans 6:1-5.
Nope. Romans 1:16 says it was to the Jew first and then to the Gentiles.
This verse is kinda fitting since Acts 2 is in Jerusalem (to the Jew first) and Acts 10 (and then to the Gentile) is the first Gentiles with Cornelius, his household, and friends present with Peter.
If you are going to go out and throw around theories and speculations around, at least know and study scripture more than I can say you do now.
Look, this is not intended to hurt you in any way, but you just cannot grasp reading comprehension can you? You clearly have not been taught by any worthy English teachers or you would understand the context and gravity of this verse you posted.
Questions:
What happens when you do not diligently seek Him?
Did you know that "diligently" is used as a verb here in the Koine Greek?
ἐκζητέω ekzētéō, ek-zay-teh'-o; from G1537 and G2212; to search out, i.e. (figuratively)investigate, crave, demand, (by Hebraism) worship:—en- (re-)quire, seek after (carefully, diligently).
Therefore, action is required. In Hebrews 11:6, diligently is also used as a present tense, not a past tense. This means you need to be doing this continually.
Wrong.
The OT required certain rituals and animal sacrifices to the Levitical priesthood in certain Jewish cities every specific time period. Anyone who read the first five OT books knows this.
The OT never ever spoke to Jews to require them to be baptized in water. It only made prophetic, future, claims of what will happen and who will come (Jesus).
The NT is the only place that actually had people get baptized. Anyone who has actually studied the bible, even those who don't believe in the bible, knows this. You need to read the bible for yourself to find out. Stop cherry picking around in scripture.
Also, not only were Jews baptized, Gentiles were too with Jews. Gentiles were baptized so frequently in the NT, I marvel as to how you missed this.
There are so many baptism's of Jews and Gentiles I am puzzled as to how you miss this. I am bewildered, amazed, perplexed, stunned, flabbergasted.
I just really do not see how can say Gentiles are not baptized and Jews are. It also amazes me that you said OT Jews were baptized because nowhere in the OT do I see Jews getting baptized to be saved as they are in the NT.
Of course, I also noticed you didn't post any evidence again for these claims either.
Still waiting for evidence...........................................................
Acts 2:38 is the Gospel (good news)

Do you see the difference in the two Gospels? The Old to the Jews and the New to Jews and Gentiles? Acts 2:38 is the Jewish Gospel to repent and baptized in water but Jews rejected this good news. The New Testament Gospel of Jesus Christ was accepted by Gentiles and it proclaims that one must have the Gift of Faith, which only God can give, the saving faith, to believe that a man rose from the dead.
Nope. Romans 1:16 says it was to the Jew first and then to the Gentiles.

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

The O.T. depended on works (repent be baptized etc.)
The N.T. depends on Jesus Christ and His finished work of Salvation

- Jesus' Baptism - Matthew 3:13-17 (wasn't Jesus a Jew?)
- Day of Pentecost - Acts 2:22 and 36-47 (Not everyone here was a Jew as Peter spoke in MANY languages/tongues See Acts 2:5, people out of every nation hence Gentiles too)
- Samaria - Acts 8:4-13 (Gentiles are baptized)
- Ethiopian Eunuch - Acts 8:26-39 (Gentile is baptized)
- Paul(Saul) - Acts 9:1-20 and 22:6-16 (Jew baptized)
- Cornelius - Acts 101-48 and 11:1-18 (Gentiles baptized)
- Lydia - Acts 16:13-15 (Gentile)
- Many Corinthians - Acts 18:8 (Gentiles)
- Philippian Jailer - Acts 16:27-34 (Gentiles)
