Confirming that you accept it is Paul who teaches you the Gospel, yes or no ?
As according to breathed out by GOD the Holy Bible i have 'at hand', i accept first the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John for every creature in discipleship.

And then further in discipleship, Gospel according to Acts, Gospel according to Paul for the established churches by his epistles.

Furthermore in discipleship Gospel according to Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1&2 Peter, 1,2&3 John and Jude for the established churches by epistles.

Finally in discipleship Gospel according to the Revelation of John also for the established churches, Jews or Gentiles the 'one body of Christ'.

In them there are 'names' who are not among the chosen and commissioned 12 initial by Christ apparently.

But i believe and in faith minister and witness by the Holy Ghost, they are the Apostles' fruits in recognition and testament.

All of them written are from Lord Jesus Christ these foundation of His commissioned Apostles and fruits, am built upon like my fathers before me.

Therefore we differ from you, who is saved and built upon only by Apostle Paul's Gospel.

Thank you and may GOD bless you in Jesus name.

It's a simple question FJ.
Who teaches FJ the Gospel, Peter or Paul ?

No!

Gospel according to Paul to the established churches is just one part that taught me among the others in context.

The 'New Testament' of GOD and breathed out by GOD.

Start from the Gospel according to Matthew itself and towards the end Jesus commissioned them to make disciples of 'all nation'.

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

Sorry, I must have understood Fred J's post differently, because I don't see him claiming that Matthew is an apostle and minister to believers today, just that the portion of the bible for which God used Matthew as the human author, what we call the Gospel of Matthew, includes the commission of Jesus to His disciples. In the sense that his words are part of the bible, I suppose it could be said that through those words, Matthew continues to minister to people today.

If Matthew is among the 12, Jesus chose, disciple and commissioned them, indeed he is an Apostle according to the wisdom given us from above.

And according to 2Timothy3:16&17, Matthew's Gospel in 'part' today is 'profitable' for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of GOD may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Yes I agree he is an apostle. His ministry continues through the gospel he, under God's inspiration, wrote.

That was BEFORE Paul was Acts 9:15 appointed by Christ to be Rom 11:13 Apostle & Rom 15:16 Minister.
AFTER Paul was Christ appointed, show the verses where Matthew has the authority to teach Salvation to Pauls audience :)

Matthew 24:
14. And the Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nation; and then shall the end come.


The 'man of GOD' according to 2Timothy3:16&17, is the living 'good fruit' of the 'Apostles, who'd minister and witness the Gospel according to the New Testament unto all nation.

I'm looking for the verses that teach once Paul was Acts 9:15 Christ appointed Apostle Rom 11:13 & Minister Rom 15:16 that Matthew has authority to teach Salvation to the audience of Paul.
Gal 2:7-9 clearly teaches otherwise.

For the record, Paul's audience were also of those churches he did not establish, but of the Apostles before him.

Because the Gospel according to the 12 of Christ, were already up and going to all nations and churches established, 4-5 years before Paul's conversion.

I'll reword the question.
After Acts 9:15, Rom 11:13, Rom 15:16, Gal 2:7-9, list the verses that teach Matthew has authority over Paul to teach salvation to Pauls audience.
The verses FJ, the verses :)

1 Corinthians 1:
12. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

Try again FJ :)
