Paul taught Peter and the other 11 Apostles HIS "Gospel"

So the other Apostles taught lies. I hadn't heard that before

If true we must immediately remove all writings from the Bible except for Paul and ask the Lord why he made the mistake of not allowing false apostles from claiming to be teaching His Word.

Mark 16:16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved


Amazing how some deny the authority of Jesus' teachings and still claim to be Christians

Jesus said in Luke 6:46: "Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' but not do what I say?"

Because they don't accept the Lord, they just pay lip service to the Lord and follow doctrines of men instead of following Jesus

There are no verses in the NT that state that "Apostles lied"".....other then Peter Denying that he knew Jesus, 3x.

Otherwise...... there was a time that some of the Apostles hadn't learned Paul's Gospel.
So, they couldn't teach it untill they learned it from Paul.....in Acts 15.


Jesus said we are to get baptized and we know people claiming otherwise are rejecting the words of Jesus

Ive told you 3x that everyone should be water baptized, after they are born again.

Not everyone can be, and i showed you the list.


Question is, was Peter being led by the Holy Spirit in Acts 2:37,38

Are you aware that the "Acts of the Apostles"........(The book of Acts).......didnt stop in Acts 2?

Yet you did.
So, that's your problem.

See the other 26 chapters, when you have time, as living in Acts 2:38, is not where you should live.

Repent and be baptized for remission of sins,

That is "John the Baptist's" ORIGINAL message to Jews., that you are posting.
Its all Peter knew in Acts 2.
But by Acts 15, God had shown Peter something, and Paul showed Him the rest.

If they all taught some other gospel and Paul was the only one teaching the correct gospel, then this is claiming the other Apostles taught lies. You can't have it both ways.



everyone should be water baptized, after they are born again.

That's makes initial salvation a two step process, get born again and then get baptized.

According to Jesus both are required for salvation

People that do not accept what Jesus says are not following Him which shows they are following the devil who always claims what Jesus says is not true.



So, that's your problem.

I accept the words of Jesus including all the things He said by the Holy Spirit thru the entire New Testament not just Paul, so I'm not the one with the problem.



That is "John the Baptist's" message to Jews.

Mark 16:16

I need you to actually listen. @Big Boy Johnson

Now, in the beginning of Christianity.........that is birthed by The Cross of Christ, there was no Paul The Apostle... so His Gospel was not avabilable to any of the 11 Apostles, until Jesus gave it to HIM< to give to everyone else.

Jesus called Paul into a specific ministry, and gave Paul "doctrine for the church" and "THE Gosple" in the "time of the Gentiles"....that began with Christ's Death and will end, when the Tribulation begins.

So "in the time of the Gentiles"""......and you are in it, and you are a Gentile......there is ONLY ONE Gospel.

Its Paul's Gospel..... and that is why he told you, in Galatians 1:8, that any other Gospel is not of God.

This does not mean that What Jesus preached to the Jews, is wrong.......but its not The Doctrine for the body of Christ as there was no body of Christ until AFTER Jesus died.
So, Paul was called by Jesus to deliever : THE Gospel, and the doctrine for the Church.



According to Jesus both are required for salvation

Water can't save a dog, or a snake.
Water is just water......it has no spiritual Power.

Millions of Christians have died, and were never water baptised.

Water Baptism, is a "figure"......its "Symbolic".......exactly like The Communion is symbolic....

However......there is definiately something "other-worldly" that happens when you take The Communion.
It is symbolic, but is also spiritual.....extremely, extremely, extremely.

Take it every day, and remember......Reader, you are always made worthy to take The Communion, as Jesus's Sacrifice keeps you worthy, exactly as His Sacrifice maintains Peace between us and our Father in Heaven.

No, I need to ignore false doctrines is what I need to do.

That's a good idea.
You should.

And one of the ways you avoid it, is to learn Paul's Theology.
(Its all i teach).

Start here.

Romans 3:21-28


According to Jesus both are required for salvation

If Water Baptism died on The Cross for your Sin, then keep right on elevating it as Eqaul to The Cross of Christ.

If not......

The devil is the one claiming Paul was in opposition to the teachings of Jesus

Timothy 6:3
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Actually, its you who is posting that "Paul is in opposition to Jesus".

See, Paul recevied THE Gospel from Jesus.......
This is wny Paul said that "i was taught my Gospel by no MAN"........

Paul called This Gospel that He received from Jesus.......>"MY Gospel"......He said this 3x in the NT.

Once Peter and the 11 met Paul, in Acts 15.......then ALL of the Apostles knew Paul's Gospel., as He taught them all.

This Gospel is "The preaching of the Cross. that is the POWER OF GOD........unto Salvation, to/for everyone who BELIEVES".

What is missing?

Water Baptism.

And that is why Paul said......>"Christ sent me NOT To Water Baptize"......As Paul's Gospel, is "justificaiton by Faith"........

Its.. "WE are become the Children of God, by FAITH"

"Grace through FAITH"

"All who BELIEVE...shall be saved".

After that........you should be water baptized, as your public confession of Faith in Christ.

That makes it the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it means Jesus was Paul's boss.

Matthew 28:19,20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Read it and weep!

Paul was in agreement with Matthew 28:19,20

Jesus is Lord.

Paul is just His Minister "in the time of the Gentiles" and Jesus gave Paul a "Gospel" for this "time"..........and you are in it.......as it started with the Crucifixion, and will end, and then the Tribulation starts.

So, this is a very specific Gospel.........that Jesus was not teaching to JEWS............during His ministry.........as this Gospel, is based on THe Cross of Christ, and that had not happened when Jesus was ministering to the JEWS...

According to Jesus teaching concerning the law and the prophets stopped when John began His ministry so you have once again denied the teachings of Jesus

Luke 16:16
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.


Jesus tells us that since the time of John the gospel of the Kingdom is preached and this is what Paul preached that we enter in to God's Kingdom by grace thru faith

Colossians 1:13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:


This is what happens we people get born again.
It's sad to see so many who don't even understand what the gospel is!

Matthew 28:19,20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you

This is what Paul was doing, being obedient to the instructions Jesus gave in Matthew 28:19,20 and Paul warned about not obeying the Word of Jesus in Timothy 6:3

If Paul was teaching something other than what Jesus taught, then according to Timothy 6:3 Paul is a false teacher!

Too bad reformed theology has left you deceived.

Think on this..

You believe that Jesus is the Savior., who rose from the Dead, and is coming again.
Right?

So, you would believe it, when Jesus said...>>"I am THE Way and no person comes to the Father but by Me"...

"Me alone"....>"Im THE Way to the Father"......."Just ME".

You believe that Jesus is telling the Truth? right?

So, Jesus is explaining that He is the ONLY Way that God accepts..........whereby a person can come to God.. for forgiveness and receive "The Gift of Salvation".

Jesus is ""THE WAY".. to God.......and there is no other Way.

So, if that is true then why do you keep trying to deny this and say...>"no, it has to be Jesus and Water Baptism"..... @Big Boy Johnson

Jesus didnt say that.
He said that HE is THE WAY to the Father, and you keep trying to tell Him that His verse is wrong, and He needs to admit that He is part of the way to The Father, and water baptism is the other part of the way.

See your theology?

That is Catholic Cult theology...that that teaches as their False Gospels = = Water Baptism has to be a part of Salvation.
