Which gospel must I believe to be saved?
There are many gospels in the scriptures and we must be able to rightly divide our Bible to find which one is for us today.
1. John the Baptize preached the baptism of remission of sins. Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. He also preached, “repent and be baptized for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand”. Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
2. Jesus preached the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3. The 12 apostles that Jesus chose were commanded to preach the gospel of the Kingdom. Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
[6] But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[7] And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
4. Peter is still preaching after the resurrection that Israel needed to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins in order to receive the gift of the Hold Ghost. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
[20] And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
5. Paul received a different gospel from the risen Lord in heaven. Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
[12] For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Paul’s gospel states that Christ died for all mans sins, and that he was buried and took those sins away and that He rose again the third day for our justification. I Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
[4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
During the tribulation period, there is an angel from heaven who preaches the everlasting gospel unto all that dwell on the earth. Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,[7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
