Paul wrote to the Galatians, I marvel that you 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. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than what we have preached unto you let him be accursed. As we have said before, so say I now again, if any man preaches any other Gospel unto you than that we have received, let him be accursed" Galatians 1:6-9.
Calvinism is another Gospel. Most organized religions don't know what the Gospel is. The Catholic church thinks that the Gospel is Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They do not believe Paul's Gospel of justification by faith alone. Their Gospel is join the Catholic church and you will be saved, which is a false Gospel. Holiness religions like Pentecostalism believe that if you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues you will be saved, which is a false Gospel. There are some cults that speak in tongues.
There is only one Gospel, it is the Gospel that justifies lost sinners, Romans 4:5 and reconciles them and the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. In the Gospel all that Jesus is and all that Jesus does is for our justification and our salvation. Jesus was acting in our name and on our behalf, The law has been fulfilled and abolished, Ephesians 2:15. All sin has been atoned for. We are complete in Christ, Colossians 2:10. To reject the Gospel is to reject Jesus Christ.
Paul received his Gospel directly from Jesus Christ "But I certify you brethren, that the Gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by revelation of Jesus Christ, Galatians 1:11-12. Faith in Christ and his Gospel is the entrance into eternal life and few there be that find it, Matthew 7:14.
