Doctrines Concerning

Salvation

 

C. That the basis of salvation is found in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Personal Opinion:

Here we go again with that word "Gospel". 

Did John the Baptist preach a Gospel?  I would have to look it up but would guess not.  He preached "the Baptism of Repentance".

Jesus preached Repentance and the "Gospel of the Kingdom of God".

Paul preached the "Gospel of the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus".

What did the Twelve Disciples preach when they were first sent out?  Likewise the Seventy?  I would guess the same message as Jesus.

Is this another indication that Paul had a newer Gospel?  That the one of Jesus, the Twelve and the Seventy was no longer news; it belonged in yesterday's newspaper, not today's?
