Are Most Churches, Today, Preaching The Same Things Paul and the apostles Preached?
(Galatians 1:6-12)
I know this might shock you but the answer is No. The gospel that is preached today is the gospel that Paul warned the apostles about. Most churches today don’t preach the same gospel that was given to Paul and the apostles by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The following are some key points to indicate that most Christian churches today have gone astray. For example;
1. They don't preach that Jesus is God (himself) in the flesh (The only true God – I John 5:20).
2. They don't preach nor teach that you must be the baptized in Jesus name (Book of Acts).
3. They don't understand the revelation of Jesus and how He created the world (John 1: 10).
4. They don't understand how Jesus can be the everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6, John 14:9).
5. They don't understand what the word "Messiah" means (God himself, in flesh).
6. They don't understand “the born again experience” (John 3:5, Matt 28:19, Acts 2:38).
7. They don't know how to apply the blood of Jesus by baptism in Jesus name (Acts 2:38).
8. They don't understand the three manifestations of God (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38 - Name).
9. They don’t teach the oneness of God (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11).
10. They don't understand baptism in relation to the death, burial, and resurrection (Acts 2:38).
11. They don't teach, neither do they understand “keys of the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 16:19, Acts 2:38).
12. They didn't understand Jesus when He said before Abraham was "I am."(John 8:58).
13. They don't understand Jesus is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost (Colossians 1:19, 2:8-10).
14. They don't understand Jesus when He said, I am the Almighty (Genesis 17:1, Revelation 1:8).
15. They don't understand how the manifestations of God worked together (I Timothy 3:16).
16. They don't understand how to preach nor teach the apostles’ doctrine (Acts 2:38-42).
17. They don't understand the dual nature of Jesus (God-Man) (John 1:1, 3, 10, 14).
18. They don't understand the importance of Jesus name and how his name is used in salvation (Acts 2:38).
19. They don't understand the 1st chapter of John 1:1-15 and 1st John 1:1-2.
20. They don't understand how God can be in heaven and on earth at the same time.
21. They don't understand "The Trinity” which Paul did not preach nor teach.
If there is a preacher/teacher who doesn’t understand one of these aforementioned concepts, then he/she should go back and re-read God’s Word with a renewed commitment to find the knowledge and mystery of Christ which the apostle Paul was so excited about.
One thing we should realize is that the apostles taught from the Old Testament scriptures. The purpose was to verify God's Word and to understand the identity of Jesus Christ. They understood that Jesus was the Son of God and they also understood He was the Messiah, “The Christ,” God himself. The apostle Paul wanted to make sure that the apostles taught the gospel the way he taught them. Paul was so concerned that the gospel would be perverted that he said, if we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Let’s look at Romans 16:17-18, Paul tells us that we should mark them, which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them. “For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” In other words, if preachers are not teaching the baptism in Jesus name, the revelation of Jesus as the Messiah (God), and they are speaking against speaking in tongues as given by the Holy Spirit, then we are to avoid them because they are deceiving people with good words and fair speeches and they are not serving our Lord Jesus Christ.
In Colossians 2:8-10, Paul tells us they will use the traditions of men, philosophy and vain deceit and will not understand the revelation of the fullness of the Godhead in the body of Jesus. If any pastor, preacher, teacher or evangelists are not teaching the apostles doctrine; then, according to Paul, they are accursed.
The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ was first taught so believers could understand that Jesus was the Messiah and that God himself was crucified for man's sins. Believers should be buried with him, by baptism, in Jesus name because He was crucified for them (I Corinthians 1:13-15).
