LOS1 stated that the only thing the God Mask does is see the world through God's eyes. Nothing was said about it having any other abilites.

Part of the reason Gabriel lost to Alucard and Simon was because he was holding back (he only used the Shadow Whip). And don't forget Gabriel was still winning aginast Victor while his power was repressed by the glyphs in the church.

I think Gabirel's power is a combination of his status as God's chosen one, his vampirism, and the Forgotten One's power. The uber immortality could be from attaining the combeined power of the Lords of Shadow (Zobek was killed by Satan via immolation and still came back).
