[Mat 28:19-20 KJV] 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus gave this "commission" to the apostles. So many have claimed this as their "commission". To adopt this commandment has ramifications.

[Mat 23:23 KJV] 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Jesus commanded the apostles to teach all things to the nations. Jesus said the weightier matters of the law should be done. To teach all things would require you to teach the law.

[Mat 24:14 KJV] 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Jesus said the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to all nations. The gospel of the kingdom was that the prophetic kingdom on earth, in which believing Israel will reign with Christ for a thousand years, was at hand. If you think you have been sent to all nations, then you would be required to preach the gospel of the kingdom. The kingdom will be established in the future, but it would be wrong to preach that the kingdom is at hand; it would be Biblical to preach it, but not dispensational.
