Has the historical gospel message of Jesus Christ been lost or subverted?
What is the gospel? The historical gospel of Jesus
Christ is not taught or preached in the organized church. Every Christian should know what
Christ has accomplished in their name and on their behalf. To not know this will lead to
doubt and confusion, and will cause one to be weak in their faith. The apostles had strong
faith because they understood what God had accomplished on their behalf. You too can have
the faith of the apostles.
Read chapter 3 in The Apostle's Doctrine.
Listed below are some of the things the gospel is not:
- Asking Jesus to come into your Heart
- Saying the sinners prayer
- Asking the Lord to forgive you
- Asking people to make a decision for Christ
- Telling people that they need a saviour
- Asking people to make a commitment for Christ
- Becoming a church member and being baptized
- Being confirmed
- Confessing your sins
- Taking the Sacraments
- Telling people that Christ died for their sins
All of the above has nothing to do with the gospel, number 11 is usually subverted.
