The Gospel of your Salvation ! Eph 1:13
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Now would it not be reasonable that the Gospel of ones Salvation is comprised of a recapitulation of all that it took for God to save you ? All the Grace ! Vs 3-12 are those previous stated facts ! So that's what is believed !

The Gospel is made up of the teachings/doctrines of God’s grace in the salvation of His people,hence we have Paul saying this Acts 20:24,27
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Was he thorough ? Look at verse 27
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
The word counsel is boulē :
Paul uses the word in his letter to the Eph 1:11
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
So no doubt he declared predestination and Gods sovereign will in his Gospel declaration

Here is what is right. The fact that the entire Bible centers on a single, surprisingly simple theme: God loves you so much that He made a way to be forgiven for every sin, so you can spend eternity with Him. That’s the essence of the gospel, and the central subject of the Scriptures. The written Word of God is intended to help us understand this “good news.”
By studying the Bible, we learn that each person needs to be saved:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Romans 3:23
each person can be saved:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
and God wants each person to be saved:
The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. 2 Peter 3:9

Whats right is Gods discriminating Love for some Rom 9:13
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
This is a Gospel Truth Rom 1:16

I believe @ brightfame52 will see the truth and come out of Calvinism in God’s perfect timing.
But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! HABAKKUK 2:3

I find it funny how people that are being deceived will believe any lie that the enemy throws at them. How they could go from the plane truth of John 3:16 to making their god a discriminating god.

Serving God is a profound act of faith. Yet, it's surprisingly easy to lose sight of the true essence of the gospel. Many believers, despite good intentions, may unknowingly try to share the gospel with motivations rooted in pride, fear, or a need for validation.
Sharing the gospel isn't based on actions alone—it’s centered on genuine love, alignment with God’s purpose, and transformation. However, human tendencies can quietly distort our approach.
Take Calvinism for instance. They have a low view of God. If exhaustive divine determinism is true, then God is a deity of deception and an untrustworthy source of theological beliefs.
They have a low view of God's word since they twist it to mean whatever lie they are trying to promote. If God is untrustworthy and discriminant, so is a book he inspired. Thus, appealing to Bible verses or to the original Greek does nothing to escape this presupposed false and low view of God and His word.

Yep Tulip is the Gospel of Gods Grace, and you reject it friend
This is THE Gospel Truth
The gospel literally means “the good news.” Here’s how Christianity has traditionally understood this “good news” with the help of the G.O.S.P.E.L. acronym:
G – God–a perfect being–created all people to be in an eternal loving relationship with Him (that is the objective purpose of life – this is why humanity exist).(Psalm 100:3)
O – Our sins (emphasis on “our”) infect us and separate us from God (like oil and water, necessary perfection and infection do not mix). (Romans 3:23)
S – Sins cannot be removed by good deeds (there’s nothing we as infected people can do about it – we need a miracle). (Isaiah 64:6)
P – Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again (this is that miracle – Jesus paid it all). (Romans 5:8)
E – Everyone who freely trusts in Christ alone – and has not rejected His offer of love and grace – has eternal life (John 3:16).
L – Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever (to infinity . . . and beyond). (John 10:28)
But Calvinism literally preaches a different gospel. Consider Paul’s words in Galatians 1: 6-8:
Here’s the Calvinist’s different G.O.S.P.E.L.*:
G* – God created a few people to be with him. Most people were created for the specific purpose of eternal suffering in Hell.
Right off the bat, we see that this is not the Gospel message that has been preached in Scripture or through the history of the Christian Church. At the least, it’s a radically different message than what most Christians have had in mind over the past 2,000 years when sharing the good news.
It gets worse . . .
O* – Our separation from God is caused and determined by God.
Let that sink in!
S* – Sins are illusory.
As noted above, no one ever misses the mark (the definition of sin), but everyone does exactly what God determines us to do. Every arrow hits the bulls eye.
P* – Paying the price for what God caused and determined all people to do, Jesus died and rose again.
At least Calvinists and non-Calvinist Christians all affirm the historical resurrection (but so do Mormons).
E* – Everyone who God determines to go to heaven goes to heaven; everyone else (the majority of humanity) is determined to suffer in the fires of hell.

So you don't preach the true gospel because you reject it. Throughout the Bible “faith” coupled with God’s “grace” is essential for salvation. The I in TULIP stands for irresistible “grace”, what role does “faith” hold in Calvinism and why is it isolated from "grace"?
