“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.”
— Galatians 1:6–7



There is a double-minded spirit moving through the Church—one that splits the gospel like it’s a pie chart.
One message for Jews. Another for Gentiles.
One gospel before Paul. Another after.
One path through Christ. Another through shadows of the Law.

This spirit claims to “rightly divide,”
But it wrongly dismantles.

Here’s what it sounds like:

“Peter had one gospel—Paul had another.”

“There’s a gospel of the circumcision and a gospel of the uncircumcision—separate and unequal.”

“What Peter preached was for Israel only. Paul’s gospel is for us Gentiles.”


It sounds scholarly.
It sounds tidy.
But it makes Christ divided—and that’s blasphemy.

> “Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?”
— 1 Corinthians 1:13




---

Let me be plain:

There is only one gospel, one Spirit, one baptism, one Cross, and one name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.

Paul didn’t preach a different Christ—
He preached the same Christ, to a different audience, with greater clarity because of the Resurrection.


---

Paul didn’t invent the gospel.

He received it by revelation of Jesus Christ—yes.
But it was the same gospel Jesus preached from the beginning:

> “Repent ye, and believe the gospel.” — Mark 1:15
“That repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations.” — Luke 24:47



Paul called it “my gospel” because he was entrusted with it—not because he authored a new version.


---

❌ So what’s the real danger?

It’s not just bad theology.
It’s spiritual sleight-of-hand.

It reduces the finished work of Christ into competing covenants, splintered truths, and divided commissions—and then says if you don’t see it, you’re not rightly dividing.

It is a Gnostic gospel of layers, claiming to reveal deeper truths while burying the simplicity of the Cross.

> “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve... so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
— 2 Corinthians 11:3



> “For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus… or another gospel… ye might well bear with him.”
— 2 Corinthians 11:4

Here’s what happens when that false spirit gets exposed:

It shapeshifts.
Suddenly it sounds more orthodox.
It quotes Paul again.
It talks of justification by faith.
It tries to blend in.

But nothing has changed.
The poison is still in the well.


---

️ So where do we stand?

We don’t need a separate gospel.
We need the one gospel of Christ crucified, risen, and reigning.

We don’t need new revelation.
We need uncompromising faithfulness to the Word already given.

We don’t need gospel gymnastics.
We need men of God who will die on the hill of Galatians 2:20:

> “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me…”




---

This isn’t about winning arguments.
It’s about guarding the flock.
And warning the Church.

Because if we let “another gospel” creep in while we stay quiet,
Then we’ve already fallen asleep.

Let the trumpet be clear.
Let the lines be drawn.
Let Christ be one—and every lie exposed.

> “Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel… let him be accursed.” — Galatians 1:8
