There can be one faith and that in Christ and more than one gospel
Why is more than one gospel so threatening

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 is one body, and one Spirit… one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all.” — Ephesians 4:4–6



The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ crucified, buried, and risen (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). To split that gospel is to fracture the foundation of salvation itself. The Apostle Paul calls anyone preaching a different gospel accursed (Galatians 1:6–9).

If you claim multiple gospels, you either deny the sufficiency of Christ’s atonement or distort the very nature of faith. This is no small matter—this is eternal life and death.

Why do you cling to this error? What fear lurks in the truth of one gospel that you fight so desperately to hide?

Then why state the others why are they needed

Because 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?

@Doug answer these questions

1. When did the Church begin? Pentecost (Acts 2) or Acts 28:28? If Pentecost, why do you say otherwise?


2. Why do you reject water baptism when Jesus commanded it (Matthew 28:19) and Peter preached it at Pentecost (Acts 2:38)?


3. Do you believe baptism is essential for new birth or just an empty ritual? Explain clearly.


4. You say Paul’s “mystery” Church only appears in his later letters. Does that mean Paul preached different gospels at different times?


5. How do you reconcile your theology with Paul’s words in Acts 26:22 about proclaiming the fulfillment of prophecy?


6. Do you accept Paul’s apostleship and writings as inspired Scripture? If not, what gospel do you preach?


7. What is your scriptural proof that God’s promises to Israel are finished?


8. Romans 11 clearly teaches Israel’s future restoration. How do you explain this if you deny Israel’s ongoing role?


9. Why do you separate the Body of Christ and Israel so sharply when Ephesians 2:11–22 says believers from both are one new man?


10. How do you explain the presence of the Holy Spirit and Spirit-filled believers before Acts 28?


11. Jesus warns about blasphemy of the Spirit (Matthew 12:31-32). Are you aware your teaching might fall into this?


12. You reject sacraments like baptism—on what Scripture do you base this, and how do you deal with the commands you reject?


13. Your teaching fractures the Church and confuses believers. How do you justify this spiritually destructive fruit?


14. If proven wrong by Scripture, are you willing to repent or will you harden your heart?


15. Do you pray daily for the Spirit’s guidance, or do you rely solely on your reasoning and interpretation?

1. When did the Church begin? Pentecost (Acts 2) or Acts 28:28? If Pentecost, why do you say otherwise?

I assume you mean the church now the body of Christ
It started mid acts with Paul's conversion in Acts 9 but there is no specific time that I know of given

 

[Doug]

Why do you reject water baptism when Jesus commanded it (Matthew 28:19) and Peter preached it at Pentecost (Acts 2:38)?

Israel was commanded water baptism
Paul was not sent to water baptize and never commanded it for the body
Paul spoke of being baptized by the Spirit

 

[Doug]

Do you believe baptism is essential for new birth or just an empty ritual? Explain clearly.

Israel was commanded to be water baptized for the remission of sins
Israel was told the kingdom of heaven was at hand which is the earthly kingdom in which they will be priests......priests had to be cleansed with water

 

[Doug]

4. You say Paul’s “mystery” Church only appears in his later letters. Does that mean Paul preached different gospels at different times?

Acts 29 people say this not me

 

[Doug]

5. How do you reconcile your theology with Paul’s words in Acts 26:22 about proclaiming the fulfillment of prophecy?

[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.
Paul preached Christ from the prophets as well as the mystery Romans 16:25-26

 

[Doug]

Do you accept Paul’s apostleship and writings as inspired Scripture? If not, what gospel do you preach?

All scripture

 

[Doug]

. What is your scriptural proof that God’s promises to Israel are finished?

They arent
Are you mixing me up with someone else? I never said this

 

[Doug]

Romans 11 clearly teaches Israel’s future restoration. How do you explain this if you deny Israel’s ongoing role?

never said this

 

[Doug]

Why do you separate the Body of Christ and Israel so sharply when Ephesians 2:11–22 says believers from both are one new man?

This was revealed about the body of Christ not the remnant of Israel

 

[Doug]

You reject sacraments like baptism—on what Scripture do you base this, and how do you deal with the commands you reject?

I believe in baptism....baptism of the Spirit
There are no sacraments in scripture
The body of Christ is not commanded to be water baptized

Final Rebuke to Doug – The Last Trumpet

Doug,

This is the last time I speak to you.

I’ve asked. I’ve warned. I’ve opened the Scriptures plainly. You’ve twisted them, sidestepped them, and deflected with fragments of theology while denying the full testimony of the Spirit. You haven’t just disagreed—you’ve resisted truth.

You say the Church didn’t begin at Pentecost. You reject water baptism, even though Christ Himself commanded it. You separate Israel and the Body in ways the cross never does. You claim you believe Paul, but your doctrine slices his gospel into pieces—offering one gospel to the Jew and another to the Gentile.

That’s not revelation. That’s another gospel.

> “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.” — Galatians 1:8



Paul didn’t preach two gospels. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one Spirit, one Body.
Your teaching stands in direct contradiction to the unity of the Spirit and the full counsel of God.

> “Whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.” — Matthew 12:32
You are nearing that line—if not already over it.



Your rejection of the Spirit’s work, your disdain for baptism, your redefinition of the Church, and your elevation of personal interpretation above divine revelation has become a spiritual offense. You don’t need more time. You need repentance.

This is your final warning:

Repent.

Lay down your pride. Forsake the false gospel you’ve embraced. Return to the Scriptures in full—Old and New, prophetic and apostolic, without division.

Because if you will not—then may the Lord rebuke you.
I am done casting pearls before swine.

> “Therefore I declare to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men, for I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.” — Acts 20:26–27



The trumpet has sounded.

The sword is drawn.

The watchman has spoken.
