Please allow me to address below this statement first if you will:
"Yeah it was the same Gospel throughout, even what the 12 Apostles preached."
Here are the differences in preaching between the twelve and Paul:
1)The name of Jesus
The twelve preached whosoever believed only in the name of Jesus were saved with no mention of the cross..... John 1:12 John 3:18 John 20:31 Acts 10:43
You are misrepresenting The Gospel, our Lord Jesus Christ, and what He and His Apostles taught. Jesus already had said that John the Baptist was preaching baptism of repentance and baptizing in the wilderness for the remission of sins (Mark 1). Jesus showed that John the Baptist would come first to prepare the way per prophecy in Isaiah. So you cannot hide that by trying to isolate what Jesus said in those Scriptures about belief on Him only.
Paul preached salvation in the name of Jesus and the cross......Galatians 6:14 1 Timothy 1:16
Well, that is The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and ALL... of Christ's Apostles preached that after His death and resurrection. Or maybe you think they preached salvation through someone or something else??? So you haven't proven anything by just quoting from those of Paul's Epistles.
2)Baptism....the twelve preached salvation upon baptism Acts 2:38 Mark 16:16
Paul was not sent to baptize......1 Corinthians 1:17
Yet Paul did baptize some, so right off the bat you attempt to create a leaven doctrine by twisting what Paul said. The rebuke Paul was giving the brethren there in 1 Cor.1 was because of how they had divided themselves into men's doctrines and were following men instead of The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the very thing those like you are doing with the double gospel leaven doctrine from men.
3)The Holy Ghost.....receiving the Holy Ghost upon baptism.....Acts 2:38
Holy Ghost received upon belief......Ephesians 1:13
What? Like The Holy Spirit didn't come upon Christ's Apostles first like Jesus told them, and then upon believing Gentiles when Peter first preached The Gospel to the Gentiles in Acts 10???
No need for me to continue with the rest of your post, as I've well proven enough of how those on the false dual-gospel idea have duped you and try to twist Scripture against God's Truth.
