It's not that simple. Ephesians 4:5 says one baptism but Hebrews 6:2 says baptisms in the plural.
We need to understand the dispensational context of each verse.
So there are 3 gospels, and each is the only true gospel during its own dispensation/age.
- There is only one true gospel for the church age: the gospel of the grace of God.
- There was only one true gospel during the gospels: the gospel of the kingdom.
- There will only be one true gospel during the tribulation: the everlasting gospel (preached by an angel, by the way, see Revelation 14:6).
Without that division, the Bible cannot be reconciled.
That's why Paul also commanded Timothy to "divide" the word of truth (2Ti.2:15).
I think you're missing one of the key words in The Gospel. The word "THE". The word THE does not mean "a gospel" but THE Gospel. Similar to THE Christ, and THE Father, and THE Holy Spirit. And even if you twist the word THE to fit more than one gospel, how do you explain Jesus commanding us to preach THE Gospel to EVERY creature? Jesus doesn't say preach a certain gospel to a certain people, but rather THE Gospel to EVERY creature. Simply put, that means EVERY creature gets the SAME Gospel. Not only does this simplicity blow holes in multiple gospel doctrines, but Jesus is telling this to the disciples who were ALL Jews. Why would he tell the Jews to preach the same gospel to every creature if there were different gospels for different people?
Your multiple gospel doctrines contradict the simplicity that is in Christ. That His blood is the ONLY answer for sin for EVERY person. The very reason John said "to Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood". Just like John (a Jew) was washed in His blood, this applies to everyone, even before the time of the cross. Abraham also had to be washed from His sins in His blood. His blood is the ONLY answer for sin for EVERY dispensation, and His blood is not separate from the Gospel that SAVES. So please tell me how these other gospels deal with the sin problem apart from His blood?
Mark 16:15
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach THE gospel to EVERY creature.
