== Fundamental Point of Christianity ==
 +
 +
In Acts 13:46-48, both Paul and Barnabas discussed how acceptance of eternal life divided believers from non-believers:<ref>[[NIV]] translation.</ref>
 +
 +
:Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
 +
 +
:For this is what the Lord has commanded us: " 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.' "
 +
 +
:When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
 +
 +
:The word of the Lord spread through the whole region
