@Doug you posted this verse...



You realize that you have kicked every non-Jewish believer out of the kingdom of God by applying this solely to the Jews? If we, the Gentiles, are not born again, then we can not love God. And no one who does not love God is saved.

The body of Christ has it's purpose in the heavenly kingdom not the Davidic kingdom on earth (2 Timothy 4:18).

Jesus commanded the disciples to love one another in John 13:34-35. To enter the kingdom on earth the Jews must believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (1 John 5:1-3 John 20:31),and are required to keep the commandments and love one another (1 John 3:23).

This is eerily akin to Paul preaching one message to the Gentiles and Peter preaching an entirely different message to the Jews.

Galatians 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

This verse clearly states there are two gospels.

Peter preached believing on the name of Jesus, that he is Messiah, Christ, the Son of God (Acts 4:12). Peter preached Jesus rose to sit on the throne of David in the kingdom on earth (Acts 2:30).

Paul preached that both Jew and Gentile are justified freely by the redemption in Christ by faith (Romans 3:24). Paul preached that Jesus rose for our justification (Romans 4:25).

For the record, and to expose more of the hyper-dispensationalist errors of @Doug he fails to realize that the general epistle of 1 John was to Gentile and Jewish believers in Asia minor. It is not the objective or purpose of 1 John "to prove only Jews are born again."

Doug is simply misusing and abusing Scripture. Since he is under this hyper dispy deception he sees his error everywhere. Don't go down that road, it is a slick trick of Satan to get people off track into false issues and forget about the importance of self-examination and true sanctification.

Note that there is no division in Christ between the two (yet Doug is attempting to do this very thing, causing division) since they are all one, but just for clarification it is not only about or to Jews. Note Galatians 3:8.

All true believers are born again as 1 John attests.

Why is right division heresy?
It does not deliberately abuse scripture, but merely, strives to properly distinguish the word according to 2 Timothy 2:15.
It allows the Bible to say what it does and allows God to deal progressively with his Word and purpose.
God has a purpose for Israel to reconcile the earth and the body of Christ to reconcile the heavens.
What verse/verses do you see as applying to all believers in 1 John ?

There are not two gospels my friend. What Paul wrote and preached, so did Peter.

There are not two gospels my friend. What Paul wrote and preached, so did Peter.

Peter and Paul did not preach the same gospel messages. Below are the differences between the gospels and Apostleship's of Peter and Paul.

Peter's Apostleship: His Apostleship was commanded by Jesus Christ along with the other eleven disciples before Paul. Peter was primarily the Apostle to Israel (Galatians 2:8). Peter's Apostleship was diminishing after Paul was converted.

Paul's Apostleship: Paul was persecuting the church of God before being converted. After his conversion Paul was given revelations from the Lord Jesus Christ; Paul did not learn from any man including the twelve Apostles (Galatians 1:12). Paul was primarily the Apostle to Gentiles (Romans 11:13 2 Timothy 1:11).

Peter's Justification: Peter and the other eleven Apostles taught justification unto eternal life by believing on the name of Jesus; by believing Jesus is Christ, the Son of God (Acts 10:43 Matthew 16:16 Acts 4:12 Acts 2:36 John 20:31).

Peter preached that Israel received the new testament by the crucifixion and shed blood of Jesus (Matthew 26:28 1 Peter 1:2 1 Peter 1:19 Acts 3:18 1 Peter 2:24 Acts 3:25). Peter preached forgiveness of sin at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19).

Paul's Justification: Paul taught justification unto eternal life by the cross (1 Corinthians 1:18 Galatians 6:14 Colossians 1:20). Justification by faith that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again for complete salvation unto eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Colossians 2:10). Paul taught forgiveness of all sin now by the blood of Jesus (Ephesians 1:7).

Peter's gospel: Peter preached remission of sins in the name of Jesus (Acts 10:43). Peter taught the gospel of the kingdom (Luke 9:2 Luke 9:6 2 Peter 1:11). Israel would inherit the promise of the Davidic kingdom on earth (Luke 1:32-33 Genesis 13:15). Israel would rule and reign with Jesus for a thousand year period (Revelation 20:6). Israel would be a light for salvation unto the Gentile nations that would enter the kingdom (Isaiah 60:3).

Paul's gospel: Paul taught the gospel of the uncircumcision (Galatians 2:7). Paul taught salvation to all freely by faith in Christ apart from the covenants of Israel and apart from keeping the law (Romans 9:4 Romans 3:28 Galatians 2:19).

Peter and the resurrection: Peter preached the gospel of the circumcision (Galatians 2:7). Israel under the old covenant promises was promised to be a holy nation and a kingdom of kings and priests to rule over the Gentile nations with Christ (Revelation 1:6 Exodus 19:6 Revelation 5:10). Peter preached that the resurrection of Christ gave Israel assurance of that coming kingdom because Christ was raised to sit on the throne of David in that prophetic kingdom (1 Peter 1:3 Acts 3:25 Acts 2:30). Peter preached the receiving of the Holy Ghost to enable Israel to enter the kingdom (Jeremiah 31:33 Acts 2:33 Acts 2:38).

Paul and the resurrection: Paul taught that Christ was risen for our justification (Romans 4:25).

Peter and works: Peter preached works as necessary for salvation in order to enter the kingdom (Acts 10:35 1 Peter 1:15 1 Peter 2:9 2 Peter 1:10-11). Peter preached to Israel repentance and baptism for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Peter preached holiness and to remain steadfast unto the coming of Jesus and his kingdom (2 Peter 3:17).

Paul and works: Paul taught salvation without works (Titus 3:5 Romans 4:6 Ephesians 2:8-9).

Peter and the church: Peter preached to Israel (Acts 3:12). Gentiles had to come through Israel and it's covenants to be added to the church (Exodus 12:48 Acts 11:1); Gentiles had to believe the preaching of the word delivered to Israel as preached by Peter (Acts 13:48).

Paul and the church: Paul taught the church as the body of Christ, a new creature where there was neither Jew or Gentile (Galatians 6:15 Galatians 3:28 Ephesians 2:14).

Peter and heaven: Peter taught that Israel would receive the kingdom on earth ( Luke 9:2 Luke 9:6 2 Peter 1:11 Acts 2:30). He taught their reward was stored in heaven but not in heaven (1 Peter 1:4).

Paul and heaven: Paul taught the church seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).

Both Peter and Paul were ordained of God to preach the gospel. Those who believed their gospels are in Christ. Peter's gospel faded away as Israel was diminished and is not the gospel that is preached today. Paul preaches the gospel by which we are saved today. Paul in his epistles reveal the mysteries and doctrine for the church today.

Folks, this is hyper-dispensationialist psycho-babble.

God has a way of keeping these heretics out of local congregations. I'd guess many of them have been booted from churches.
Well, I told you this morning I’d bet dollars to donuts he doesn’t attend a local church. Not many, hopefully zero, would be willing to put up with his “garbage”.

Both Peter and Paul preached salvation by faith, justification by faith and the same everlasting gospel. You're one mixed up heretic.

There’s numerology that nut jobs try to posit when the plain reading of scriptures does not suffice them. Now we have the two gospel non-gospel when the one true gospel does not suffice. :(

No need to engage this heretic. Peter himself gave witness he and Paul preached the same Gospel. Plus this @Doug is under 1 John 2:19.

There are plenty that God has as his remnant who preach the truth of the Gospel. Unfortunately you are not in that mix. You're so mixed up and hoodwinked you cannot see it and apart from God's grace you'll remain there.
