What is the Gospel?
Matthew Mark Luke and John
A major part of Christians in the U.S. base there belief in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Their whole premise and doctrinal belief is in the 2nd chapter of Acts:
The Day of Pentecost.
I dare say 90% of American churches teach this, endlessly.
So are they Jews or members of the Body Of Christ?
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Their statement of Faith is John 3:16.
Ephesian 2:
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Because of His Shed Blood, salvation is offer to all races, All Gentiles.
By Believing Jesus is at the right hand of the Father you will be saved from the wrath of God.
Was Peter included in the Gospel of Grace.
Was Peter a member of the Body of Christ.
Galatians 2:11-13We know all Christians are biased towards assuming Peter no longer made any big mistakes. But did he or did he not?
This does not say the gospel of grace is committed only to Paul. Remember, by the way, that Paul is a Jew like Peter.Galatians 2:9 King James Version
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Paul was given The Gospel of Grace but not to Peter.
yesThe only distinction being made is Paul’s primary assignment was to the uncircumcised/Gentiles.
Peter ministers grace >Peter continue preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom
Paul was given the gospel of Grace
And, like I have offered, all of us in Jesus can minister God's own grace.“May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” [2 Peter 1:2]
Did you try reading 1st and 2nd Peter?We have to trust the written Word of God rather then our understanding.
Galatians 2:9 King James Version

First, Paul was of the circumcision. He was a Jew. And he says "we all" "were by nature children of wrath, just as the others." (in Ephesians 2:3)What do you suppose Paul meant by this?
I appreciate your comment.
What we believe and traditions always gets us into trouble. I was the same way.

Do you really believe this?
I'm going to take that as a big ol, NO. So tell me, why should we believe you if you don't even believe what you are saying yourself?What is the Gospel?

NO, he did not. Peter's weakness seemed to be his fervency oddly enough. His fervency seems to have been dependent on his own strength rather than that found through faith in Christ and that strength is really Christ's strength...Did Peter ask bizzare open ended questions?
Did Peter continually imply things that don't line up with scripture without backing them up?
Missed my pointNO, he did not. Peter's weakness seemed to be his fervency oddly enough. His fervency seems to have been dependent on his own strength rather than that found through faith in Christ and that strength is really Christ's strength...
Philippians 2:12-13:
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
We read of Peter's backsliding as an Apostle in Galatians again and that is sin, but Paul does not speak of Peter as an unrepentant sinner. All are still in the flesh and subject to sin and that sin does not make them irredeemable....there is repentance and forgiveness...
I John 1:8-10:
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

Was Peter included in the Gospel of Grace.
Was Peter a member of the Body of Christ.
What is a "fatal" or "big" mistake?A very good question nobody bothers or too scared to ask.
Jesus first tested Peter about denying Him and Peter failed.
And then Jesus again tested Peter in John 21 of his love for Him. Whether Peter failed this again, is up to the readers of the Bible.....
We know all Christians are biased towards assuming Peter no longer made any big mistakes. But did he or did he not?
I cannot give the details of the events, and signs and prophecies (all in the Bible) confirming whether Peter made a fatal mistake or not for the notion violates the established doctrines of mainstream Christianity.
As a wild dog that is wounded. But can you patch its wounds to heal it? It could bite back for it only sees you as the enemy, never the rescuer.
