very wellNope

Doug, your claim that there can be “one faith” but “more than one gospel” is not just confusion—it’s heresy. Scripture is clear:There can be one faith and that in Christ and more than one gospel
Why is more than one gospel so threatening
Because those others—“one Lord,” “one faith,” “one baptism”—point to the foundation and unity of the gospel itself.Then why state the others why are they needed
very wellBecause those others—“one Lord,” “one faith,” “one baptism”—point to the foundation and unity of the gospel itself.
They reveal the unshakable core truth that there is no room for division in how we are saved or who saves us.
If the gospel were fractured or multiple, then how could there be “one faith”?
Paul’s entire argument in Ephesians 4 is that the church is called to unity because of this one, undivided gospel of Christ.
So yes, the phrase “one gospel” isn’t spelled out here—but it’s absolutely implied and foundational.
To insist there are many gospels while claiming one faith is to fracture the gospel’s power and deny the very essence of salvation.
Why add confusion where Christ offers one clear, perfect message?
I assume you mean the church now the body of Christ1. When did the Church begin? Pentecost (Acts 2) or Acts 28:28? If Pentecost, why do you say otherwise?
Israel was commanded water baptismWhy do you reject water baptism when Jesus commanded it (Matthew 28:19) and Peter preached it at Pentecost (Acts 2:38)?
Israel was commanded to be water baptized for the remission of sinsDo you believe baptism is essential for new birth or just an empty ritual? Explain clearly.
Acts 29 people say this not me4. You say Paul’s “mystery” Church only appears in his later letters. Does that mean Paul preached different gospels at different times?
[Act 26:23 KJV] 23 That Christ should suffer, [and] that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.5. How do you reconcile your theology with Paul’s words in Acts 26:22 about proclaiming the fulfillment of prophecy?
All scriptureDo you accept Paul’s apostleship and writings as inspired Scripture? If not, what gospel do you preach?
They arent. What is your scriptural proof that God’s promises to Israel are finished?
never said thisRomans 11 clearly teaches Israel’s future restoration. How do you explain this if you deny Israel’s ongoing role?
This was revealed about the body of Christ not the remnant of IsraelWhy do you separate the Body of Christ and Israel so sharply when Ephesians 2:11–22 says believers from both are one new man?
I believe in baptism....baptism of the SpiritYou reject sacraments like baptism—on what Scripture do you base this, and how do you deal with the commands you reject?
