That they are a hell bound sinner, woefully fallen short of God's glory apart from the forgiveness found in the Person and work of Jesus Christ.Be specific. In your opinion, what is required for one to know in order to escape 'eternal damnation'? The bare minimum.
The gospel message explains to us what Jesus did and still directs us to place saving faith unto Him, as he is the source of eternal lifeLet's look at this again...
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 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:
Can you really separate the Gospel from Jesus?

Romans chapters one through three, especially Rom 3:21-26So that’s the good news? Telling folks they’re going to hell unless?
Will folks go to hell if you fail to warn them of this?
Romans chapters one through three, especially Rom 3:21-26
Romans 3:21-26 (KJV) But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Doesn't sound like hell, fire and brimstone preaching to me
That's actually the gospel explained (Rom. 1-3), the bare minimum would be ...Is this the ‘bare minimum’ one must believe in order to avoid eternal damnation?

Anything else would be nitpicking.

Any other 'formula' would include the Gospel.K. So that’s the ‘formula’ whereby one can be saved from eternal torment. There’s other ‘formulas’ in the scriptures that iinclude water baptism and verbal confession in order to be ‘saved’. Why exclude those?
??? ...come again.? Romans 3:23, . . . come short of the glory of God; . . .
It's really not rocket science.
16 | He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. Mk 16 |
38 | And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
39 | For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. |
40 | And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation. Acts 2 |
21 | which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; 1 Pet 3 |
unless ye have believed in vain.
It's not a formula that saves, it's a Person.If we're talking about what one must believe and do in order to avoid infinity in a torture chamber, the 'formula' better be precise as 'rocket science'.
Paul seems to take up a new thought in verse 1 so there is very little context. This we know, there is no mention of baptism is in the whole chapter except v.29 where the false practice of baptizing for the dead. (Do you hold to that?)Within the context of the passage, what does that mean? To believe in vain?
Let me take another stab at this...? Romans 3:23, . . . come short of the glory of God; . . .
Those who do not become present with Lord, end up in the lower place of the nether world. Per Deuteronomy 32:22.??? ...come again.
