The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Another gospel

It should go without saying, that the life, death, burial and resurrection of Christ should be included in the definition of "the Gospel". [side note: it is not always possible, in fact in most cases, to present the Gospel in its entirety]

However, given the context of that statement by Paul, the main emphasis he was dwelling on was justification by grace through faith in Christ alone. He labored the point stressing that works, in any form, is excluded. Thus, we can confidently say that any "gospel" which includes 'works' is to be understood as "another gospel".

Now, there comes the 'feather ruffler'! ONLY the historic, confessional Reformed Faith holds to the one true Gospel which the Spirit uses to regenerate spiritually dead sinners and bringing them to Christ in repentance and faith. Unfortunately, even the modern Reformed churches; Presbyterian, Continental Reformed and Baptists have forsaken the true Gospel for a modern counterfeit with all other non-Reformed churches and denomination embrace and teach.

Here is a link to some salient articles that deal directly with this matter of the true Gospel vs. false gospels: Evangelism. For my personal view as to what the true Gospel should contain, see here: A Gospel Summary. And I will include one other, although I could point you to several... There are Only Two Religions in the Whole World.

We have had several discussions on this particular topic here on the board in the past. But since I deem it a fundamental issue; a matter of eternal life or eternal damnation, having another discussion concerning this issue would be most welcome.
