Because the Gospel isn't about heaven and hell. The Gospel is the proclamation that Jesus is King, that He is the image of God, that He has conquered death & sin and that He is reconciling the world to Himself. (IMHO)
I agree with you MC. I just wanted to also say that the book of Acts is really a continuation of Luke, Acts begins where the gospel of Luke ends. This part of the story is about the early church and answers the question; Jesus is in Heaven, now what? So it is not as if the apostles didn't teach the concept of enternal life or about the day of judgement, Acts just serves a different purpose and presents the events of the early church.
