>> That sounds alot like different gospels, one for the "church age" and one for "the tribulation."<<

Theere are not “different” gospels. There is but one gospel. First of all you need to understand what the term “gospel” means. In the Greek, gospel is the translation of the Greek noun euangelion “good news,” and the verb euangelizo meaning “to bring or announce good news.” Both words are derived from the noun angelos, “messenger.”

When Christians refer to the “Gospel” they are referring to the “good news” that Jesus Christ died to pay the penalty for our sin so that we might become the children of God through faith alone in Christ alone.

Once that age of grace is over, “the fullness of the Gentiles” that “gospel” is not more. Those who are left to go through the tribulation will need to “act”, as in not take the mark of the beast and will be killed, to attain eternal life.

>> Do you consider the first the "Once Saved Always Saved" version and the second the "You Can Lose Your Salvation" or "Works" version ?<<

Scripture is clear that those who are left to go through the tribulation of Revelation can lose their salvation by taking the mark of the beast. Yes, it’s a different “dispensation” during that last seven years.

You make my point for me. Unless there are two versions of the gospel of grace, the same commandment applies to everyone. The LORD and his apostles have repeatedly warned everyone over and over and over again. Whoever can listen should listen to everything they have told us.

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
