THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOSPEL!
Galatians 1:3-9 - Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. I marvel that you 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 you have received, let him be accursed.
[*Note: The genuine and only true Gospel is the Gospel of Christ. The title "Christ" appears 569 times in the King James Version. The one true Gospel is described as:
"The Gospel of the Uncircumcision" - Gal. 2:7 (See "Paul's Gospel" in 1 Cor. 15:1-6).
"The Gospel of the Circumcision" - Gal. 2:7 (See "Peter's Gospel" in Act. 2:22-38).
"The Gospel of Peace" - Rom. 10:15."The Gospel of your Salvation" - Eph. 1:13.
"The Gospel of the Kingdom" - Mt. 4:23; 9:35.
"The Gospel of the Kingdom of God" - Mk. 1:14.
"The Gospel of God" - Rom. 1:1; 15:16; 2 Cor. 11:7; 1 Th. 2:2, 8, 9; 1 Pet. 4:17.
"The Gospel of the Grace of God" - Act. 20:24.
"The Gospel of His Son" - Rom. 1:9.
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ" - Mk. 1:1.
"The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" - 2 Th. 1:8.
"The Gospel of Christ" - Rom. 1:16; 15:19, 29; 1 Cor. 9:12, 18; 2 Cor. 9:13; 10:14; Gal. 1:7; Phil. 1:27; 1 Th. 3:2.
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE!
1 Corinthians 15:1-6 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; by which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain (unless you have merely pretended to believe). 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: and that He was seen of Cephas (Peter), then of the twelve: after that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GOSPEL MESSAGE!
Romans 1:16-17 - For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one who (genuinely) believes (it); to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (the Gentile). For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just (those made righteous) shall live by faith.
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD!
Matthew 6:33 - But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness....
2 Corinthians 5:20-21 - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be reconciled to God. For He has made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
Titus 3:5-7 - Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Whom He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; that being justified (declared righteous) by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
WHAT THEN SHOULD YOU DO?
Romans 10:9-13 (as I understand it) - The Word which can save you is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the Word of Faith, which we preach; that if you publicly declare your faith in the Lord Jesus, and you truly believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes and is declared righteous by God; and with the mouth, a public confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, Whosoever believes on Jesus shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Gentile: for the same Lord is gracious and full of mercy unto all who call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
