“The Gospel of Salvation is clear, simple, and elementary.”

Matthew 24:14
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”

The gospel of grace in which Paul preached had gone out to all the world, been preached to every creature under heaven and to all nations. The gospel of the kingdom will be preached during the tribulation by the two witnesses and 144,000 male Jews. The gospel of the kingdom is the good news of the second coming of Jesus as King of kings.

amen the same is true of everything he taught
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32 KJV
to say I believe in Jesus yet I reject what he taught is a contradiction

Paul
“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:”
Romans 1:1, 3-6

You are correct. Works follow after like fruits from a tree. Many false teachers (some have already posted on this thread) pretend that placing one's faith in Jesus is a work, thereby hoping to discredit God's plan of salvation.
The best explanation of how works fit in can be found in Ephesians 2...
Ephesians 2:
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

The kingdom of God is not the gospel of the kingdom.
Colossians 1:
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
Verse 23:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

John 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
The Jews that were around cast doubt that Jesus was Christ even though he already told them he was. So in essence upon hearing the word of Christ, there are some that reject his words and some believed the truth, hence, it's a matter of believing or not believing at all. Those who hear and believe are presently given eternal life.

right Paul is a servant witness and minister of the only gospel his role was one of the witnesses who were to preach it to the whole world Paul’s role is to preach the gospel to everyone and that’s what Paul did until his execution by Nero
You don’t have any valid argument that will ever create a second gospel what Jesus preached was sent to every creature in the world not just then but until the world ends yourself included

op: What Must I do to be saved?
"Believe On The LORD Jesus 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; And that He was buried,
and that He Rose again the third day According To The Scriptures"
The Gospel Of The GRACE Of God, Not the gospel of the kingdom:
God’s Approval/TWO Different gospels In prophecy And MYSTERY!
Amen.

They are for Rewards.
This discussion boils down to the single Moment when God comes to a person, this person is in church and feels the Message speaking to them, God embraces this person with His Love, God invites this person in their [spirit-heart-mind] to Follow Him, and then the person Submits themselves to God and prays through becoming Saved.
The Moment is God Inviting the person to Follow Him and the Person Submitting.
How can a person Submit without choosing to do so?
^
That is Not a works, that is a Reaction of Affirmation to God's Invitation.
But, the person has to choose to do that...even though...it's not a works...it's a Submission.

The gift of God here refers to salvation. The gift of salvation is through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and "not of works"
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
