There are many false Gospels out there and he might have believed the wrong Gospel.

Well, if his salvation were dependent on him, then he might be in trouble. But Salvation is of God, totally.

No one preached the Gospel to me directly. I was brought to my knees by the Power of God, and saw the crucified Christ. There were no words, none were needed. I fell to my knees a sinner, and when I finally got up, I knew I was saved. I have never doubted it since that day. I was washed, cleansed, and forgiven, and I knew it. I saw the Lord crucified. God regenerated my heart then and there. I knew my heart had been changed, because I wanted nothing to do with religion before. God changed my heart, allowed me to see Christ crucified, and I believed, all in one moment of time. I would not have believed if He had not changed my heart. I didn't change it. I didn't "decide" to believe. God changed me. Then I did believe. Not before.

One still has to believe in the Gospel message to be saved. (Rom.10:17)

Would it be possible to elaborate your story a bit? You saw the crucified Christ? Was this a vision? Did Christ come to you in person?
