Paul reminded the church in Rome, and us, that believers in Jesus may view situations differently. We also have diverse backgrounds that color our attitudes and practices. He wrote, “Let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister” (v. 13).
God’s grace gives us great freedom even as it helps us express His love to fellow believers. We can use that freedom to put the spiritual needs of others above our own convictions about rules and practices that don’t contradict the essential truths found in the gospel (v. 20).

Yes, I believe it. Paul was an apostle chosen by the Lord. No different than any of the other apostles.
Paul was diferant from
The gospel of the Kingdom is not important, it is not for us. We are not Israel. Paul was given to gospel by Christ for us today. If you have not yet believed this gospel you are in a very bad place.
Keep on topic. You are posting different unrelated verses

Acts 28:30-31: "For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. He proclaimed the Kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!"
Acts was not written to me.

Q: On earth? Or, From HEAVEN? = TWO Different Things, Correct?:

Precious friend, seems to be Many Confused denominations AND individuals:

Should they all not Love God's Truth, And obey HIM, Rightly Dividing It?:

HIS Words FROM HEAVEN, TO Paul, our "apostle Of GRACE"?:

Be RICHLY Blessed!

Basic Distinctions between Prophecy and the Mystery! (C.R. Stam)

----------------------------------------------------

I have further compiled More Distinctions In God's TWO Different Programs!:

Prophecy/Law:
(15) The TWO "Main" (of 12) baptismS =
A) water, For remission of sins!:
(Matthew 3:5-6; Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3; John 1:31; Luke 7:29-30; Acts 10:37)
(Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; Ezekiel 36:25 KJB!)

+

B) "WITH" The Holy Spirit, Poured Out
By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders!
(Isaiah 44:3; Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:8, 16:17-18; Luke 24:49;
Acts 2:17-18, 38; Acts 8:15-17; Acts 11:16 KJB!)
RDf


Mystery/GRACE!:
(15) Only ONE
Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION,
Spiritually "Identifying" members In (The Body Of) CHRIST!!
(
Ephesians 4:5; Colossians 2:12; Galatians 3:27; Romans 6:3-4;
1 Corinthians 12:13 KJB!)

Prophecy/Law:
(16) Forgive others FIRST, THEN God Will Forgive!
(Matthew 6:14-15, 18:35; Mark 11:25-26; Luke 6:37 KJB!)
RDf


Mystery/GRACE!:
(16) Forgive others BECAUSE CHRIST Has Already FORGIVEN us!
(
Ephesians 4:32 KJB!)

Prophecy/Law:
(17) Taught how/what to pray! (Matthew 6:9; Luke 11:2 KJB!)
RDf


Mystery/GRACE!:
(17a) we Are Exhorted to "...Make our requests known Unto God!"
(
Philippians 4:6 KJB!) While, At The Same Time, God "Teaches":

(17b) Concerning our infirmities, we "know Not" what to pray "as we ought,"
But "The Spirit Intercedeth FOR us, According To The Will Of God!..."
(
Romans 8:26 KJB!)

Prophecy/Law { earthly! }:
18) "watchmen," { as CHRIST Told the Jews On the earth! }, looking for
The "wicked one, the deceiving man of SIN" And "signs" (Matthew 24 KJB!)
RDf

Mystery/GRACE { Heavenly! }!:
(18) ambassadors { As CHRIST Told Paul, From Heaven! }
LOOKING, WATCHING, And WAITING For! = The Holy One,
The LORD JESUS CHRIST {From Heaven! }
(
Romans 8:18, 19, 23, 25; 1 Corinthians 1:7; Ephesians 6:12-18;
Philippians 3:20; Colossians 3:2, 4:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 5:5-11;
2 Thessalonians 3:5; Titus 2:13 KJB! )
-----------------------------------------------------
probably more… But, sorry, for all the views of prophecy/Mystery =
only ONE gospel, and, Peter and Paul “preached” The SAME thing?:
------------------------------------------------
@Blik would have us "obey OPPOSITES" at the SAME time???:

Example: Can I Actually "SELL everything" {Christ's earthly Words} AND
"work with my hands to Give to them in need" (Christ's HEAVENLY Words)?

How Exactly does that work again???
--------------------------------
Conclusion:

“things that are Different are just Not The SAME,” correct?
-----------------------------------
LORD JESUS, thank You For All Your Divine Help
in our understanding of Things That Differ!
-----------------------------------------------


Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth!”
(
2 Timothy 2:15 KJB!)
You need to believe Paul's gospel to be saved. 1 Corinthians 15:3,4.

That is an important part of the Gospel. But the full Gospel is that Christ -- who is God -- died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and rose again for our justification according to the Scriptures. And that repentance for the remission of sins must be preached in His name.

Equally important are the truths that God the Father has made Him both Lord and Christ, and all power and authority in Heaven and on earth have been given unto Him. Therefore God now COMMANDS all men everywhere to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

There is only one Gospel but it has several designations. Anyone claiming that there is more than one Gospel or bringing "another gospel" should be seen as false. For a deeper understanding of the Gospel, God has provided the epistle to the Romans.
You need to believe that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again 1 Corinthians 15: 3,4. Otherwise you are lost. No debating!

While Paul was against works in order to keep or maintain salvation, I believe that we have a statement in Romans 11:20-22, that if we don't continue in God's goodness, we will be cut off.
That was not written to individuals.It was written to the gentile church.

He also said he consider salvation a prize he had not obtained yet.He said the olympians train for a corruptible prize but we incorruptible prize
Salvation is not a prize, a reward, or a wage,

It is the gift of God

Acts is not written to me or you. 2Ti_2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
Paul does not write: Consider what Luke says.
2Co_12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. Who gave Paul what to write ? Who made himself known to Paul when he was persecuting the church of God? Who gave Paul the gospel to preach to throughout all the world ?
Christ.

Please,what is that GOSPEL that Christ gave to Paul?

Some here are very shady in what they say to twist the scriptures.

Come right out and say the GOSPEL that Christ gave to Paul was that Jesus was the only sacrifice ever needed for our redemption. He,Jesus is the good news to be shared with the world!

He sounds " pauline only"

Those bible butchers rock along fairly well with their radical paul idolotry.

Then outta nowhere they start a gospel smear job, along with a peter and John smear Job.

But they dont stop there.

They also believe Jesus original mission failed and the cross was plan b

The gospel Paul was given by Christ.

1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
This is the gospel you must believe to be saved.

The gospel of the Kingdom is not important, it is not for us. We are not Israel. Paul was given to gospel by Christ for us today. If you have not yet believed this gospel you are in a very bad place.

Acts was not written to me.
it was written to christians.

So we will note you have excluded yourself.

That is most likely why you are oblivious that in acts we see the gospel to the gentiles given to peter BEFORE PAUL.

But since you cut out entire books of the bible, it makes sense you do not know that.
