You are free to believe as you will. And you are free to believe what others judge to be marks of certain denominations. The Gospel of Grace did not begin with Christ’s resurrection and His commands to preach the Gospel. That was the gospel of the kingdom in Luke 24. Go back and read what that gospel was called: it was plainly called the gospel of the kingdom. Read what the Bible ACTUALLY SAYS, not what you THINK IT SAYS. There’s a difference, I assure you. The very fact that you think Luke 24 is the gospel of the grace of God tells me that. Perhaps you should look at His later command. To Paul. To preach the gospel of the grace of God. I’m sure your Bible has His words all highlighted in red for easy identification.
I think a lot of the confusion is in the terms *gospel of the kingdom*, *kingdom of heaven*, and *kingdom of God*.
I for one, have never heard much clear teaching about what the difference is between the two and what the gospel of the kingdom is versus the gospel of the grace of God.
Some people teach as if they’re the same thing. Others teach as if they’re not.
I have provided you with what the Bible ACTUALLY SAYS. You have provided the readers here with a theory of what SOMEONE other than the apostles preached. I provided you with the slam shut passage from 1 Corinthians 15 from Paul himself. He clearly said no difference. If one heard it from Cephas or any other apostle, then they heard the same gospel he preached.
You have skirted an important question I posed. It was the very first one I posed. Where do you see the Church beginning historically? Obviously you do not believe this happened on Pentecost. So where in your estimation did the church start in the book of Acts? Before Acts 28? After Acts 28? Middle of Acts? Where can you point to this transition from the kingdom gospel to the gospel of grace? We should start there as we did about a year ago, when the question went unanswered by many and a few changed their position as scriptures were presented. I also promise not to use capital letters if you do not.
