Sent to preach to the Gentiles ... Yes.
Can tell people they have eternal life .. NO!
The decision of who gets eternal life in the Kingdom of God
rests with Jesus Christ.
God gave Jesus that authority.
Did Jesus Christ pass on that authority to Paul .. NO.
Then where do some Christians get the idea that Paul said they have eternal life? Beats me, especially when Paul said that he does not even know if he himself has eternal life, and if he does not live righteously he can become a castaway.
