But Paul was a chosen vessel to bear Christ's name for both the Jews and Gentiles.

Acts 9:15
"But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:"

Exactly! Paul taught on all levels. But it was always the same gospel. I always like these verses-

I Corinthians 9:18 "What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel."

I Corinthians 9:19 "For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more."

I Corinthians 9:20 "And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;"

I Corinthians 9:21 "To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law."

Corinthians 9:22 "To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some."

I Corinthians 9:23 "And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you."


Same gospel but taught on every level so he could reach everyone. From the Jew to the Gentile, to the weak and mature.

And yes Paul shows us certain mysteries for example -"all are changed" at the last trump, etc but that in no way means he's teaching a different gospel. It's still the same.

You share the same views as him about Acts 21:18-25, that James, the elders, and Paul made a mistake there?

So by your previous reasoning,

If I preach a gospel about Christ
And another preach a gospel, also about Christ.

It must necessarily be true that we are both preaching the same gospel?

As we all know, simply preaching a sermon about someone named "Christ" is hardly the gospel. For example, the "Christ" of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka Mormons) is hardly the "Christ" of orthodox Christianity.

Let me ask you a question, was Peter preaching a different gospel to Cornelius, Phillip to the Ethiopian?

Yes, it was the gospel of the kingdom, preached since the world began.

I hope you will now also answer my question.

Yes, it must be the same gospel. God is not the author of confusion. Sure Paul taught certain mysteries (such as all are "changed at the last trump", etc) and gave his own advice at times but the gospel itself is the same. He taught Christ crucified. He taught the gospel of Christ.


Romans 1:9 "For God is my witness, Whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,"

Romans 1:15 "So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also


I Corinthians 1:5 "That in every thing ye are enriched by Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;"

I Corinthians 1:6 "Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:"

I Corinthians 1:12 "Now this I say, that every one of you saith, "I am of Paul", and "I am of Apollos"; and "I am of Cephas"; and "I am of Christ"."


Does this sound familiar? It sounds a lot like what you are trying to prove. You clearly believe you are "of Paul".


I Corinthians 1:13 "Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"

Again, this sounds a lot like what you are trying to say with the different gospels. You are stating the gospels are divided.


I Corinthians 1:17 "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect."


I Corinthians 1:23 "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;"



I Corinthians 1:24
"But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."

Acts 9:15 "But the Lord said unto him, "Go thy way: for He is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:"

Galatians 1:6 "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:"

Galatians 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."



Galatians 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."

Galatians 2:14 "But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?"


The gospel -same gospel


Philippians 1:5 "For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;"

Philippians 1:27 "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;"

Colossians 1:5 "For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;


Paul taught on every level but it is still the same gospel. His gospel that he is preaching is the gospel of Christ. He states that we are not to say we are of "Paul", etc. Christ is not to be divided which you are trying to do.

I could go on but I'll just end with this verse-



Mark 16:15 "And He said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature"

That includes everyone.

I see, with such a broad definition of what the gospel means to you, I can understand how you are able to form that doctrine.

Just like the definition of "gospel", if you are unable to rightly divide the word of truth, you will think that Paul is saying there is only ONE baptism for all times, which is actually not what he meant.

Believers are not saved by our works it is faith in the work of God that he did on the cross and resurrection and faith that he will save us inwardly and give us life to abide in. We live by faith. When we repent ( change your mind about the way we are going) and believe, then Christ dells in our heart and we are a new creation. If we continue in the faith( not works of the flesh) then we abide in Christ and as we overcome to the end through this faith and abiding we will eternally be in that life.

Jesus Christ is "eternal life" 1 John1 and 1 John 5. So if we have an evil heart of unbelief and lets say we hate our brother in ur heart then we no longer have eternal life abiding in us.

as scripture shows

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15 KJV)

That "whosoever" includes anyone (yes even us if we harden our hearts and have an evil heart of unbelief through the deceitfulness of sin

and jesus Christ is that eternal life ( so if he abides in us we are in that eternal life) if we do not continue to abide in him through faith then we are not in that eternal life.

“(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that
eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us” (1 John 1"2 KJV)

“And we know that the
Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” ( 1 John 5:20 KJV)



as scripture again says, (by the way everything we say must be in line with scripture. The issue is your interpretation.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;" (Hebrews 3:12-14 KJV)

This verse is spoken to holy brethren in Christ and the writer includes himself.

You assume that eternal life as we are in that life can never not "abide" in us.But scripture shows differently. We are kept by the power of God *this is true) but it is "by faith. And it is called "your faith" by Jesus and our faith.

There at least 7 or more baptisms in scripture. If you include all the diverse washings (baptismós in Greek) of the Ot as well. The saving baptism is into Christ by the Spirit not into water. Water does not save.

there is

1.The baptism unto Moses 1 Cor 10:2

2.The baptism of John unto repentance for the people to do Matthew 3:11

3.The baptism of John in the river Jordan,to fulfill all righteousness and manifest Jesus to Israel Matthew 3:13-15 , John 1:31

4. The Baptism with the Holy Ghost and with fire Matthew 3:11

5. Baptism into Christ at salvation. (the saving one Baptism), 1 Corinthians 12:13, Galatians 3:27, Romans 6:3,4, 1 Peter 3:21

6. Baptism unto suffering Matthew 20:22

7. Baptizing into the name of the father, Son and the Holy Ghost Matthew 28. Into the name or onto the life character authority of that name. Jesus said he manifested the name of the Father on earth to them and kept them in the Fathers name. The name of the Lord is a high tower, the righteous run INTO it and are safe.em

8. All the divers washings the word "washings meaning βαπτισμός baptismós, bap-tis-mos'; from G907; ablution (ceremonial or Christian):—baptism, washing.

Thanks! As I said, there are at least two that are commonly known, but you have demonstrated seven.

Likewise, there are several gospels found in the Bible, but, for believers today, only one.

We can agree that Paul says "the gospel" and even the gospel (the same gospel) was preached before unto Abraham (in type or shadow as i understand) As we read in hebrews 1 also.

When you give a gift to other people, if you list conditions to keeping the gift, is it still a gift?
If your parents give you a car, it does not mean that car will not be taken away because you break the driving rules.
A gift is entry to something, but that is all.

Confusion comes from the term eternal life. If the term means acceptance or rights irrespective of ones response, then
it cannot be taken away, unless the giver chooses to do so. Again there is a concept of irrevocable giving.

God gave a promise to Abraham, yet asked that Jacob be offered up, a condition. And on fulfilling the condition the Lord
responded. Nations that rebelled against God were annihilated, taken from memory. Equally people of Israel were killed
for disobedience, swallowed up by the ground.. The chosen like Moses were rebuked and had their time restricted.

To walk in the way of Jesus is the way of eternal life, the walk of heaven. It is a path His people follow, a way of living and
being with others, in loving relationship. It is continual refreshing and communion. The vine is Jesus's analogy, being alive
in Him, but also being possible to die and cut off.

So the promise of eternal life, is walking in it, and staying in it, because this is heaven come to earth. So many dismiss the
walk as simple and like nothing compared to walking with Jesus on the new earth, while He says the opposite. It is why Judas
was eternally lost and Peter eternally saved. The difference was knowing the walk and walking, not in perfection, but with our
limitations and knowing our willingness to change and grow.
God bless you

Many know the emotional drags on them and struggle without knowledge as to can it be changed and can it be different.
Jesus replies yes, but it takes faith and obedience, openness and honesty, repentance and forgiveness.
