Part 5 Agreement With The Gospel?

Precious friends:

Conclusion:

we see Two Different gospels for Two Different assemblies:

a) prophecy / covenants / law / earthly gospel of the kingdom

​

Peter and all 'the saved' until Acts 9 "added to The Lord", in His ​

earthly Kingdom assembly​

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

B) Grace / Mystery / Heavenly Gospel Of The Grace Of God...

Paul, the first member of [ and those saved thereafter 'added' To ] ​

The Body Of Christ, With God's New and Different Gospel, Considering ​

our "hope is Heavenly!" According To What God Spoke To Paul, ​

From Heaven...​

Thus:

1) We believe God's 'One' Basis for "Forgiveness of sins/Righteousness"

Is The Death Of Christ, for all mankind of all ages, and this is​

Certainly "The Greatest News" of all.​

2) We believe there are several 'good news' gospels, As

Scripturally Confirmed By these latest Two gospels:​

3) God's Word Of Truth, Right Divided:

A) God's Context of:​

prophecy / covenants / law With Christ As The Humble Servant, ​

"minister of the circumcision" and to be future King, on the earth:​

​

John [ the baptizer ], Christ, the 70 sent out, and the twelve, to the ​

"lost sheep of the house [ 12 tribes ] of Israel", preaching to them, ​

the gospel of the kingdom​

“faith plus works” Scriptural Requirements of this gospel:​

1) water baptism "For the remission of sins"​

(Matthew 3:6; Mark 1:4, 16:16; 8; Luke 3:2-3, 7:29-30; Acts 2:38 AV)​

​

2) keep the law of Moses ​

(Matthew 5:17-19, 19:16-17, 23:1-3 cp Acts 21:20, 22:12 AV) ​

​

3) righteousness Exceeding Pharisees’ (Matthew 5:20 AV) ​

​

4) forgive others first, then be forgiven (Matthew 6:14-15 AV) ​

​

5) be perfect, sell all, take up cross, follow Christ ​

(Matthew 19:21; Mark 10:21 cp Acts 2:44-45, 4:34-37 AV) ​

​

6) endure unto the end (Matthew 24:13 AV)​

​

7) mercy toward others (works) (Matthew 25:34-40 AV)​

​

Scripturally Confirmed by "faith without works is dead" to​

"the twelve tribes of Israel" (James 1:1, 2:14; 17, 20, 26 AV)​

​

gospel of the kingdom

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

The Gospel Of The Grace Of God...

Part 6 Agreement With 'The Gospel'

Continued Conclusion Part II

...gospel of the kingdom

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

The Gospel Of The Grace Of God

B) God's Other Context of:

Mystery / Grace With Christ As The Risen and Glorified Head Of ​

His Church, The One Body Of Christ, and Heavenly Minister Of​

Reconciliation:​

​

Paul, one apostle to the [ blinded Jews ] and the [ heathen ] Gentiles, ​

preaching Jesus Christ, According To [ Given By Christ, From Heaven ] ​

The Revelation of The Mystery:​

​

The Gospel Of The Grace Of God ​

1) Paul, Saved By Grace And Mercy, far apart from Jerusalem, the twelve ​

apostles, and their prophecy, covenants, and law, God Committing to​

him "The Dispensation Of The Grace Of God" (Ephesians 3:2 AV), With:​

2) Paul, the first 'member' of the One Body Of Christ, Baptized By The ​

Spirit in Acts Chapter 9, which is:​

​

a) the One New man [ not a woman 'bride' ] (Ephesians 2:15 AV), ​

which is:​

​

b) A New 'creation' (2 Corinthians 5:17 AV), and Now:​

​

c) all members after Paul, "follow a pattern": ​

​

"Howbeit for this cause I obtained Mercy, that in me first ​

Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern ​

to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life ​

everlasting." (1 Timothy 1:16 AV) ​

+​

"Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me." ​

(1 Corinthians 4:16 AV)​

"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." ​

(1 Corinthians 11:1 AV) ​

"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children" ​

(Ephesians 5:1 AV)​

"Brethren, be followers together of me..." ​

(Philippians 3:17 AV)​

3) Two Requirements of The Gospel Of The Grace Of God: ​

"By Grace Through faith" Apart from all works, For God's ​

Eternal Salvation (Ephesians 2:5-10; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; ​

Romans 3-5, 11:6; Titus 3:4-7 AV)​

​

4) The 'One Gospel' for Today, In Which God Forbids for another to ​

be preached, or mixed in with, His Gospel Of The Grace Of God:​

​

"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into ​

The Grace Of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but ​

there be some that trouble you, and would pervert The Gospel Of Christ.​

​

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto ​

you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. ​

As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other ​

gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." ​

(Galatians 1:6-9 AV)​

Lord, I pray that all brothers and sisters are in agreement with Your One
Grace Gospel of today, and will not fall under this horrible curse. Amen.

Precious friends, Please Be Very Richly Encouraged and Edified
In The Lord Jesus Christ, and In His Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided!

God's Approval/TWO Different Gospels
+
Gospel of The Kingdom vs Gospel Of The Grace Of God (J Johnston)

 

[Soyeong]

Precious friends, concerning "God's Good News":

a) some claim "only one gospel" beginning with Adam, the first in

"The Body of Christ"; ​

b) others claim "only one gospel for all time", but "The Body Of Christ

began at Pentecost (Peter the first 'member'?)";​

c) And, Finally, more than one gospel, and "Paul is the first 'member'

of The Body Of Christ, With A New And Different 'Good News' than ​

previously. ​

​

We are sure all of these Bible students are sincere in what "they
believe," but, due to the mass Confusion involved, we suggest that
we start over, if you will, and find God's Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided (Rule # 2 BSR) for "Approval Unto God," instead of Confusion.
Amen?

First, this brief introduction:

1) "the name" of this 'good news'?:

"...The gospel of Jesus Christ..." (Mark 1:1 AV)​

​

prophecy / covenants / law / Christ [ To Be King ] on earth / 12 apostles /
/ to earthly Israel:

"...the gospel of the kingdom..." (Matthew 4:23, 9:35; Mark 1:14 AV)​

"...the gospel of the circumcision...unto Peter;" (Galatians 2:7 AV)​

= good news for God's [ Previous ] dispensation of:

prophecy / covenants / law / Christ [ To Be King ] on earth / 12 apostles /
/ to earthly 12 tribes of Israel
Correct?

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

Mystery / Grace / One apostle / Christ [ Head of The Church ], From
Heaven / For The One Heavenly Body Of Christ:

2)

a) "The Name" Of This 'Good [ Greatest ] News'?:​

"...The Gospel Of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 1:8 AV)​

"...The Gospel Of The Grace Of God" (Acts 20:24 AV)​

b) other i.d.'s of This "Gospel Of The Grace Of God"?:​

"...The Gospel Of God"​

(Romans 1:1, 15:16; 2 Corinthians 11:7; 1 Thessalonians 2:2, 8, 9 AV)​

"...The Gospel Of His Son..." (Romans 1:9 AV)​

"...The Gospel Of Christ..." (Romans 1:16, 15:19; ​

1 Corinthians 9:12, 18; 2 Corinthians 9:13, 10:14;​

Philippians 1:27; 1 Thessalonians 3:2; Galatians 1:6-7 AV)​

​

"...The Gospel Of Peace..." (Romans 10:15; Ephesians 6:15 AV)​

​

"...The Gospel Of the uncircumcision..." [ to Paul ] ​

(Galatians 2:7 AV)​

​

"...The Gospel Of your salvation..." (Ephesians 1:13 AV)​

​

"...The Glorious Gospel Of The Blessed God..." ​

(1 Timothy 1:11 AV)​

​

= The Gospel Of The Grace Of God For His [ Current ] Dispensation

Of Grace For The Body Of Christ!​

Correct?

Amen.

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Law of Moses was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the Kingdom/Grace, which is the same Gospel that Paul also taught based on the Law of Moses:

Acts 14:21-22 When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.

Acts 20:24-25 But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again.

Acts 28:23 When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

 

[tablet123]

Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed

All the Old Testament saints that had their sins covered by the blood of animals and believed in a Messiah to come were saved when Jesus shed His blood to wash away their sins.

The New Testament saints are saved by believing the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and He is Lord and Savior who shed blood to wash away their sins and allow the Spirit to lead them to be Christlike.

Paul said the saints are like a building being fit together.

Which Jesus is the chief cornerstone the beginning of the Church and foundation and all the saints are built upon Him.

Jesus told Peter that He will build the Church upon him which is why the keys of heaven were given to him.

Which means Peter is built upon Jesus and the saints are built upon Peter.

There is only one Gospel which is eternal life.

There can only be one Gospel for God is only offering one thing to humanity which is eternal life.

There is no partial blessings which it is all the way or nothing

Gospel of the kingdom, Gospel of God, Gospel of Christ, Gospel of peace, Gospel of your salvation.

It is all the same thing.

Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Paul taught the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and said there is no other Gospel.

Part 1 Agreement With The Gospel?

Concerning "The Good News":

Precious friends, in accordance with “Let All things be done Decently
and In Order!” (Rule # 1 BSR), let us now examine God's Word Of Truth,
if In Biblical Fact:

1) Adam heard the one [ and same ] good news that we now know God
Committed To Paul in The Revelation Of The Mystery, "The Death, Burial,
and Resurrection Of The Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4 AV),
and if:

​

2) Adam did, in fact, understand it, and look forward [ opposite of
"we look backward" ] to The Cross, believing That "Glorious Gospel
Of The Blessed God," and was thus, same as we - are "Saved By Grace
Through faith, Apart from all works of the law"? (Ephesians 2:5-10;
Titus 3:4-7 AV), and if:

​

3) Adam was "Baptized By The One Spirit Into The One Body Of Christ"

(1 Corinthians 12:13 AV)?:​

​

What Saith The Scripture?:

"And The LORD God Said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done ​

this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the ​

field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the ​

days of thy life: ​

​

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between ​

thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise ​

his heel.​

​

Unto the woman He Said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy ​

conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire ​

shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ​

And unto Adam He Said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice ​

of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, ​

saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in ​

sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; ​

​

Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt ​

eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, ​

till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust ​

thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." (Genesis 3:14-19 AV) ​

A) How exactly, is all this 'bad news' that "The LORD God...":

​

1) "... Said Unto the serpent..." ​

​

2) "...Unto the woman He Said..." ​

​

3) "...Unto Adam He Said..." ​

​

claimed to be the 'one good news' to Adam and Eve? ​

B) And, a little further, what 'good news' did Adam and Eve (or God?)

say "unto their children"?:​

"And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the ​

fruit of the ground an offering unto The LORD. And Abel, he also ​

brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. ​

​

And The LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto ​

Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, ​

and his countenance fell. ​

​

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy ​

countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? ​

and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door" (Genesis 4:3-7 AV) ​

​

Was Abel, at That time. then "Baptized By The Holy Spirit Into The
[ Jew and Gentile Joint ] Body Of Christ [ the 'One New man'"
(Ephesians 2:15 AV) ], when He obeyed "God's Commandment"
to bring "the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof" to
"be accepted Of God"?

​

Again, how exactly is this the Exact same one gospel "Of The Grace
Of God," that He Committed To Paul, In God's "Revelation Of The
Mystery"? Did God Not "Say It" to Adam, because at 'that time'
[ "from the beginning of the world" ], It Was Still A Secret "Hid In God"
(Ephesians 3:9 AV)?

Thus, Biblically, this 'claim' of "Adam/Cain heard, understood The one Gospel
of Grace, and believed it 'looking forward to The Cross'" is Incorrect, Correct?

to be continued...

Isn’t the Gospel the mystery being reveiled? All 4 gospels (as we say; Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) are 4 books written by God through 4 different people, basically recounting the same things, more or less.

Jesus first came to the nation of Israel, but after many rejected Him, He preached to the Gentiles. Many of these people believed and were baptized into Jesus. Later on they were called Christians.

-“And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭11‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭9‬, ‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So there is only one gospel of Jesus Christ.

Part 4 Agreement With The Gospel?

Precious friends, due to the following...:

"Then He took unto Him the twelve, and Said Unto them... ​

...And they shall scourge Him, and put ​

​

Him to Death [ On The Cross ]: and the third day He shall rise again. ​

​

And they understood NONE of these things: and This Saying Was Hid​

from them, Neither knew they the things Which Were Spoken."​

(Luke 18:31-34 AV) [ By Christ, on the earth, ↑ Correct? ↑ ↑ ↑ ]​

​

...we respectfully Disagree with 'one' gospel adherents, because:

1) It was impossible to preach the "misunderstood Death of Christ,

saying "look forward to The Cross" [ which Cannot be found ], at ​

that time, or any time previously. And then, to make matters ​

more Confusing:​

2) Pronounce that Peter, at Pentecost, now understood it, and also

preached it As 'good news' [ like God Revealed To Paul ], saying ​

"look backward to The Cross" [ which Cannot be found ] - ​

However, The Following Was Found - ie:​

3) the gospel of the kingdom, According to:

prophecy / covenants / law, the Son of man, The earthly Jesus:

"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a Man ​

Approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, ​

which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also ​

know: ​

​

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge ​

of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and ​

slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: ​

because it was not possible that He should be holden of it." ​

(Acts 2:22-24 AV)​

​

Wait! Being "Accused of murder" is good news? Where, exactly, is that in The Bible?:

Conviction [ "pricked in the heart" ], eh? The Jewish hearers asking:

"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" (v. 37) ​

God's Requirement "to be saved" under the gospel of the kingdom,
given to Peter [ and the eleven ], to preach to the [ Jewish/Israeli
gospel of the ] circumcision"?:

'​

​

All this is in Strict Adherence to Christ's Words [ on earth! ] About
The Coming Of The Holy Ghost:

"But The Comforter, Which Is The Holy Ghost, Whom ​

The Father Will Send In My Name, He Shall Teach you all ​

things,..." [ Including Paul's "my Gospel Of The Mystery"? ]​

​

[ or? ]​

​

"...and bring all things to your remembrance, Whatsoever ​

{ on earth } I Have Said Unto you." (John 14:26 AV)​

Q: While He was on earth, Correct?

Thus we see Two Different gospels for Two Different assemblies:

a) prophecy / covenants / law / earthly gospel of the kingdom

​

Peter and all 'the saved' until Acts 9 "added to The Lord", in His ​

earthly Kingdom assembly​

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

B) Grace / Mystery / Heavenly Gospel Of The Grace Of God...

to be continued...

Isn’t the Gospel the mystery being reveiled? All 4 gospels (as we say; Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) are 4 books written by God through 4 different people, basically recounting the same things, more or less.

Jesus first came to the nation of Israel, but after many rejected Him, He preached to the Gentiles. Many of these people believed and were baptized into Jesus. Later on they were called Christians.

-“And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭11‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭9‬, ‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So there is only one gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

[KeithAB]

I agree with you on the fact that there is only one gospel one word of God and it starts with Genisus 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth; and ends with Revelation 22: He which testifieth these things saith, "Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus.

 

[HealthAndHappiness]

And Paul was given special revelation to show us how an individual can be saved.

Exactly 100 Times in the Gospel of John which is written not just to believers but to.....

"30And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."

The response to the Person and finished work of Christ is that which most have trouble defining. Faith/believing is usually added to with the good works that the Lord expects of His disciples, by those who teach a works based salvation. They add

(partial faith in Christ + faith in their own works of righteousness) = false sense of security.

If we can correct/ clarify this false equation for them, we will have preached the gospel of salvation, and lead souls from hell.

 

[KeithAB]

Little History about me. I am 71 years old I have been married to my lovely wife 50 years this past April. I got saved in 1976 while serving abord the USS Iwo Jima. I did not attend a regular church for several years as we spent 6 months in the Med. and 3 months in the Carabion and 6 weeks during the summer with the Navy Cadets on training mission.
As for bible study there was a small group of us that met 2-3 nights a week and our main study was the New Testament mixed with some Old Testament references. I learned no rapture, Jesus returns at the 7th trump, salvation message came from John 3. Jesus and Nicodemus. Ater I got out of the navy we went from church to church trying to find on that taught what we were raised on. It was not till about ten years ago I met a small group of men studying over coffee on day at McDonalds of all places. I asked if I could set in and as they say the rest is history. I started studying with the AVKJ and a Strongs concordance. We have sense moved and Brenda and I have kept up with our study and in contact with one of the men I studied with. We do go to church but unfortunately it is more for fellowship (friends) than learning. Pastor does have some good messages but no real meat, and teaches the rapture, and some other false doctrine.

 

[GWH]

In response, let me say this:

1. There is only ONE Gospel with many designations. It cannot otherwise be "the everlasting Gospel".

2. There can be no conflict between any of the NT writers. Just different ways of expressing the Gospel.

3, The Gospel is primarily that Christ came into the world to save sinners. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. (1 Tim 1:15)

4. Paul summarized this in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4: 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:

All of this can be elaborated, but these are the essential facts. Indeed everything written about Christ in the NT is the Gospel. Hence the first four books are called "Gospels".

I agree and would add that we also need to consider how God saves sinners before they learn the NT Gospel.
Paul indicates that the OT and even creation combined with conscience serves as a proto-Gospel for such folks.

Again, an obvious question to ask at this point is, “What is GRFS for those who have never heard of Jesus?” (which includes everyone living B.C. and millions of people who have lived A.D.) If God loves the world (John 3:16) and wants everyone to be saved (2Tim. 2:3-4, Ezek. 33:11), then He must provide an opportunity. God’s just judgment is illustrated by Jesus in the Parable of the Talents (Matt. 25:14-29), which indicates that God will judge souls on the basis of the truth (Word = Christ per John 1:1f.) they have received.

There are two main ways God/Christ is encountered:

1. General revelation, which includes meditating on the natural world or God’s supernatural work and moral conscience. Paul said men are without excuse, both because God’s eternal power and divine nature (love) are manifested by creation (Rom. 1:20), and because a proto-gospel has been proclaimed to everyone under heaven implicitly or in pre-NT foreshadowings (Col. 1:23, Rom. 10:13-18, Gal. 3:8). He also taught that all normal humans have an inner conscience or “common” sense (Rom. 2:14-16), which manifests morality or a moral Authority in every culture. Thus, sinners have no excuse for not seeking God’s salvation or being truthseekers (Matthew 7:7, Hebrews 11:6).

2. Special revelation (1Pet. 1:8-12), which refers mainly to divinely inspired NT teaching regarding God’s history of salvation. Again, the Parable of the Talents indicates that souls are saved via faith in God/ Christ as revealed (cf. 1Cor. 10:1-5). Truthseekers around the world in all times are pilgrims at various places along the road of life, and all true roads eventually lead to the Way to eternal life in heaven (John 14:6, Acts 24:14, Phil. 2:10-11). All truth leads to One Way.

 

[KeithAB]

With the history out of the way here is what we believe in a nutshell. John chapter lays out salvation perfectly; You must be born again in order to inter the Kingdom of God. You should be baptized with water just as Jesus was. He set the example for us to follow, but baptism is not a requirement for salvation. The shed blood of Jesus on the cross is the only way to receive the new heart and the new spirit required for salvation. The bible is the inspirated word of God from beginning to end. Mark 13:22 &23 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew sings and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23. But take heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
I firmly believe this. As events unfold, we should all be able to tell within 1/2 a day of Jesus return; If we are still alive to see the events unfold. Here is the scripture to back that up. Revelation 11:9. If you believe the word of God then you should be able to understand the beginning. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. and the ending God's eternal home for us here on earth. Do I thank I will be here to see this happen? No, but God willing I would like to be here to stand as a witness before Satan and give testimony. Luke 21:13

 

[TruthDefender]

I agree with you on the fact that there is only one gospel one word of God and it starts with Genisus 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth; and ends with Revelation 22: He which testifieth these things saith, "Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus.

There is also 2 covenants in the Bible. We are no longer under the Old Covenant. You can’t have 2 covenants in effect at the same time.

-What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 3:19
-"Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor."
Galatians 3:24-25 NKJV

This is so simple to discern in Spirit, if one had but little Faith in God Spirit's Word.



The ONE True Gospel of God begins Here :

Genesis 1:1
In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth.



The ONE True gospel of God ends here :

Revelation 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,



>>>>The ONLY Faith discernment needed is KNOWING FIRST , when did God gave Jesus his Revelation ?!?



God gave Jesus his Revelation , HERE :

Genesis 1:1
In the Beginning God created ....

Here is that witness...

Revelation 22:13
I am .... the Beginning .... the First and the Last.”

the First = The book of Genesis

the Last = The book of Revelation

ALL books of God's written Word/the Bible, are encompassed in the "Book of Life of the Lamb of God" = an 'autobiography' of Jesus the Living Word of God.

Absolutely, Jesus was in the beginning. However, I’m not talking about that. You’re missing my point, and dismissing what He said in Scripture.

And I agree, it is so simple…..

NO! You cannot just throw out 1/2 of the bible! We need to know what happened we need to learn the history, we need to understand the prophecy of the Old Testament, we need to understand the from Genisus 1:1 - Revelation 22:21

Pardon, I never ever said anything about throwing out 39 books! Really??

The verses I quote comes from God Himself. You can’t have 2 covenants in effect.

-"Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all."
Galatians 4:21-26 NKJV

-"But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law."
Galatians 5:18 NKJV

-"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
Romans 10:4 NKJV

-"Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor."
Galatians 3:24-25 NKJV

-"In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away."
Hebrews 8:13 NKJV

-"And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives."
Hebrews 9:15-17 NKJV
