Well Doug
Is not the gospel , the death, burial and ressurection of the Lord Jesus? That is the gospel, the good news that Jesus paid the penalty of our sin on the cross. To make that good news applicable to us, we must believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved as recorded in John 3:16 and further in Acts 16:31. Nothing more to add to the finished work of Christ.





For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:


For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
