Paul is included in the following statement.
Romans 11:5 In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God’s gracious choice.

What did Paul mean by "gospel to the Gentiles" and "gospel to the Circumcision?" Does he refer to two different gospels? Not at all.
Galatians 2:7-8 7 But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised 8 (for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),
In verse 8, Paul compares his role as an apostle to the Gentiles with Peter's role as an apostle to the circumcised. This comparison aids in our understanding of verse 7. Both Paul and Peter preached the same gospel, but they addressed two different groups of people: Paul focused on the Gentiles, while Peter ministered to the circumcised. This comparison strengthens Paul's argument by illustrating that those who ministered to the Gentiles were unified with those who ministered to the circumcised through a common Gospel: One Spirit, One Lord, One Baptism.
Right Paul was given the gospel and Paul relayed it by writing what Jesus told him....he didnt write or preach the gospel as he understood it because he would have the potential of communicating error
Why would Jesus reveal the same gospel to Paul as he gave Peter and the twelve and call it a mystery which no one knew.....that would be wrong because if they all preached the same gospel, wouldnt Peter and the twelve know it..............................[Eph 3:4-5 KJV] 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Why would Paul have to go to them in Galatians 2 and tell them his gospel....if they all preached it that makes no sense since they would already know it and preached it...he didnt go to have them validate the gospel he preached because they added nothing..........................[Gal 2:6 KJV] 6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed [to be somewhat] in conference added nothing to me:
[Rom 11:5, 7 KJV] 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ... 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Paul is not saying he is part of the remnant...........from v7 he is talking about unbelieving Israel who is blinded to faith
I dont know what translation you are using............I cant find a verse that says gospel to the Gentiles
Also saying gospel to the uncircumcised instead of gospel of the uncircumcision changes the whole meaning

It doesn't work that way. Paul didn't dictate what he heard directly. He was taught by Jesus and learned the information they way we all learn information.
The mystery aspect of the Gospel message is that the Messiah would die for his people. That was never revealed to anyone before it happened.
Paul expressed his desire to compare his teachings with those being taught by others to ensure they were in alignment. Like anyone, he questioned whether he might have made mistakes. He was facing strong opposition from individuals who claimed to represent James, which led him to believe it was prudent to meet with James for clarification on their claims. It appeared that these individuals were misrepresenting James's views.

That Jesus would die for his people was foretold before it happened........................[Isa 53:5 KJV] 5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

[2Pe 1:21 KJV] 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost...............................Paul wrote was of the Spirit
Paul did not compare his teachings.......no scripture to uphold this
Paul made no mistakes.........Paul's writings were called scripture by Peter....so scripture would have mistakes as a result

Paul didn't claim to be a prophet. He was an apostle whom Jesus sent to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles.

Yes, he testified before the Jerusalem council concerning what he was teaching. The other apostles agreed that Paul was teaching the correct gospel, adding nothing to what Paul was teaching.
There are differences between translations and they can be based on what texts are used...........you can verify greek to translate a corrupt text......enough said
closer to what......please state plainly what I am to see in these verses
[Rom 11:5, 7 KJV] 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ... 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Prophet and prophecy arent the same..........prophecy is speaking the mind and purpose of God
Where does it say in Acts 15 that the other apostles agreed Paul was teaching the correct gospel
