True Gospel vs other gospels
Paul went further to teach in the book of 2 Corinthians: 2 Cor. 11:3 “But I fear, lest by
any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be
corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth an-
other Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye
have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear
with him.” The “grace, but doctrine” preaches another Jesus that is different from the
Jesus of the scriptures. We make the following comparisons between the Jesus of the
scriptures and the Jesus of the “grace, but doctrine:”
1. The true “Jesus” said on the cross of the work of salvation from sin that “it is fin-
ished.” The grace, but doctrine says that “Jesus” did all that he can do and now it is
up to you to finish the work.
2. The true “Jesus” we are told came to “save his people from their sins.” Also, he
said, John 6:38 “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will
of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all
which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last
day.” Thus, the true “Jesus” had a specific people that he came to save and of course
he cannot fail. The grace, but “Jesus” is begging and pleading for people to let him
save them.
3. The true “Jesus” gives eternal life: John 17:2 “As thou hast given him power
over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.” The
grace, but “Jesus” grants eternal life only to those who will accept him.
4. The true “Jesus” died for the sins of all the elect and all the elect are saved
because of his atoning sacrifice as we read in Rom. 8:33 “Who shall lay any thing to
the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It
is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of
God, who also maketh intercession for us.” The grace, but Jesus died for all mankind
and offers salvation to all that will let him save them. Thus, the grace, but “Jesus”
died in vain in his offering for the vast majority of humanity.
While there are many other ways in which the true “Jesus” of the bible is different
from the grace, but Jesus this is sufficient to show that the “Jesus” being taught by the
vast majority of the denominational world is “another Jesus.”
True gospel evangelism requires that the true gospel of the grace of Christ be
preached in any true evangelistic effort.
