Challenge

My Gospel blog aims to challenge Christians in the ways they think about Jesus and His words. It is aimed to help them determine whether they have believed the ONLY Gospel message that “saves” (after one dies). Alternatively, do Christians prefer to believe one of the many false gospels that will not save their soul after they die (Gal 1:6-7).

The challenge presented here also aims to encourage those who love Christ and want to become like the Bereans who have “searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11).

The incident that motivated me to write this blog

I met a Christian man who challenged my beliefs some time ago — but when he said that no Christian in the world would agree with “My Gospel“, this made me really stop and think.

So, I decided to share ‘My Gospel‘ (or what I believe is ‘Paul’s Gospel’ – Rom 2:16) with as many Christians as I can to challenge their views. In this, my desire is to determine whether they consider their views of what ‘My Gospel’ that I am presenting is false or not. I am doing this simply to PROVE what is the ‘True Gospel’ (1 Thes 5:21).

I am reasonably convinced that ‘My Gospel‘ is the one true Gospel because it requires the Conditions associated with it to be “obeyed” (Rom 10:16).

In contrast to this, I have found that most other ‘gospels’ are false gospels (2 Cor 11:4; Gal 1:6) because they negate the need for Christians to obey Christ’s commands (John 14:15) and the need for Christians to undertake any of the required “works‘ (James 2:26; John 14:12) that bring forth the required “fruit” God requires to see evident (John 15:1-8) in His “sons of God” on Earth (1 John 3:1-2).

Are you up to the Challenge?

To help me to prove whether “My Gospel” is true or false, I invite any Bible-believing Christian to challenge me by describing to me where he or she believes ‘My Gospel‘ is wrong.

I am offering Christians USD $1,000 to meet the challenge!

Send me an email through my Contact page to register your interest, and please include;

• • A synopsis of yourself;
  • List the churches you have attended in the past and which you currently attend;
  • Include some links to any YouTube videos and articles you may have produced;
  • Supply and email address and a telephone number for contact.

Once received and your application has been accepted, I will respond by:

• • Requesting your bank account details;
  • Extend and invitation for you to submit a rebuttal to all the claims contained in the posts listed below;
  • Once the rebuttal is received, the payment to you will be arranged.

The pages and posts that require a detailed rebuttal are as follows:

• • The Eight Stages of Biblical Salvation

  • Initial and Final Salvation

  • Works of Faith

  • The Pre-Tribulation Rapture – Fully Explained

I will publish each rebuttal on this blog for others to consider. From this, my readers will be able to decide for themselves whether the evidence from the issues raised in the rebuttal harmonize with scripture or not.

If I receive enough rebuttals and reader comments, these together may be used to produce a book for later publication — however, this is not the prime purpose of the Challenge.

My sole aim is to discover what the True Gospel is from among the broader Christian community. Individual Christian’s comments together with theologian’s comments will help me determine this.

Blessings everyone.

Ministries invited to comment about Initial and Final Salvation

In the attached document (download) is a list of 155 ministries that have been contacted during the period May 2019 and February 2023 to request an opinion on this doctrine. ALL of these ministries have failed to respond in any adequate form.

Most have preferred to remain silent. Such ‘silence’ from these people indicates that retaining their ministry’s current beliefs (of Once Saved, Always Saved) is far more important than that of seeking the TRUTH of what is the ONLY Gospel message is that saves Christians from spending eternity in Hell.

The following prominent names have been extracted from the list to highlight the individual’s preference for lies rather than truth.

It must also be remembered that each of these ministries had the chance of obtaining $1,000 USD to produce a rebuttal to my claims regarding Initial and Final Salvation. Naturally, the offer still remains open to anyone meeting the criteria listed above.
