There are two ways to deny the gospel -- explicitly and implicitly. Open heretics deny it explicitly. False prophets deny it subtly and cleverly. But believers can also deny it implicitly by the way they act, or by the way they contradict themselves and talk out of both sides of their mouths. Paul rebuked Peter because he (and Barnabas and the rest of the Jewish believers) were not acting in a straightforward way about the gospel. They were not acting consistently with the doctrine of justification by faith alone, but were instead, by their actions in withdrawing from Gentiles, acting as though something other than faith in Christ alone was the basis for justification. We do the same thing today. We do it by exclusion and inclusion. Like Peter, we say that certain Christians with whom we differ on something are indeed true Christians, but then we act like they are second-class Christians because they don't believe exactly as we do. On the other hand, we can be very clear in our preaching and in our doctrinal statements that justification is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone and in the receiving of the imputed righteousness of Christ. But then, we can suddenly wax ecumenical with pastors or church groups who deny this. This is hypocrisy. We must be straightforward about the Gospel.
