THE GOSPEL MESSAGE
By Dr. Ralph “Yankee” Arnold
The presentation of the gospel message is a story about the problem of man’s eternal destiny meeting the eternal solution from God.
· There has been much confusion about the correct contents of the gospel message. What should it include?
· We know that we must strip all the
hints of a man’s works out of the gospel of grace, but what about those who gut the truth out of the gospel?
· The gospel is not clear or understood just because we know what we said or meant, but when the lost person does.
· I believe the story of the gospel should be sufficient to remove questions, doubts, and confusions about eternal security.
· I believe the gospel story should reveal to a person their problem. I believe the gospel story should reveal to a person God’s only solution. The best form of follow-up with a new believer is their solid understanding of the truth of the gospel.
· Is the so-called gospel presented by GES (Grace Evangelical Society) and many "Free Grace" preachers representing the truth of the gospel? Is just “Believe in Jesus for Eternal Life” a sufficient message that plants a believer on solid ground and removes questions and doubts? No death, burial, and resurrection needed to be in the gospel. REALLY?
As the President of Florida Bible College of Tampa, I must teach students the truth of the gospel and why they should be as Paul says, set for "the defense and confirmation of the gospel". Philippians 1:7 I have placed this message, "WHY DO SOME PREACHERS GUT THE GOSPEL?" on my YouTube channel.
