I grew up in Miami and heard James Kennedy teach many times as his Coral Ridge Church was a "sister" church to ours. So I can attest to his Christian beliefs in the Gospel.

Below is the statement of faith from Coral Ridge PCA church which is the Gospel as they and Kennedy (and I) see it....

We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ, the living Word, became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. He who is true God became true man united in one Person forever. He died on the cross as sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. On the third day He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of God the Father, He now is our High Priest and Mediator.
The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior. Indwelling our hearts, He gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service. He instructs and guides us into all truth, and seals us for the day of redemption.
Being estranged from God and condemned by our sinfulness, our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God's free grace. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, thereby justifying them in His sight. Only such as are born of the Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
The true church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit are united together in the body of Christ. The church finds her visible, yet imperfect, expression in local congregations where the Word of God is preached in its purity and the sacraments are administered in their integrity; where scriptural discipline is practiced, and where loving fellowship is maintained. For her perfecting, she awaits the return of her Lord.
Jesus Christ will come again to the earth - personally, visibly, and bodily - to judge the living and the dead, and to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.

If this is not "the Gospel", then I would like to hear from vladimir998 what is.

Please don't think I am "bashing" you, my FRiend. I am just trying to point out that the Gospel I proclaim and the one you most likely proclaim are one and the same. Yes, there are some serious theological differences in the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant church. We can heartily debate and discuss these differences, but the ultimate truth boils down to the fact that both basically profess the same gospel (good news about salvation through grace of Lord Jesus Christ). So in the spirit of this "Good News" that Patrick brought to Ireland and which spread even further, let's agree to disagree on a few points, but celebrate the "Good News of the Gospel..... for Christ said, "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16) whether we be Roman Catholic or Protestant, THAT main message is still the same.
