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 (Galatians 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 an 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:
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 203 ministries that have been contacted during the period May 2019 and April 2024. The purpose for doing so was to request an opinion on this doctrine. ALL of these ministries listed have failed to respond to my request.
In fact, almost all ministries 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. This indicates they do not want to know the ONLY Gospel message that saves Christians from spending eternity in Hell. This also indicates they prefer to spread a false gospel message (2 Peter 2:1).
The following prominent names have been extracted from the downloadable list below. This is 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. Naturally, the offer still remains open to anyone meeting the criteria listed above.

If anyone wants to be right with God, then they need to get born again of God’s Holy Spirit. If one has been born of God, then Jesus has forever freed them from sin and they will be living in the Spirit where one does not sin, because one cannot sin in the Spirit, rather than living in the realm of the flesh where one cannot help but sin. So everyone needs to die to the flesh and be born again of God and His Holy Spirit if they want to live right with God as one of His children.
HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT JESUS THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW !!!
I have some very good news for everyone, if they’ll just believe it. Everyone needs to know what Jesus has done for them. So, let me tell everyone about Him and what He’s done for us. To start with, Jesus tells us that we must be as perfect as God is, and He wants us to be able to be forever free from sin. And, according to the Scriptures, we can EASILY do exactly that.
Everyone needs to know, that through simply putting their hope/faith/trust/belief into Jesus and His shed blood to save them from their sin problem, that we can then be born again of God’s Holy Spirit so that we can live in the realm of the Spirit where we are not under the Law and the power of sin, but are dead to the Law and sin, and are under the loving grace of God.
Everyone needs to know how Jesus destroys the works of the devil (sin) in our lives by washing away all of our sins with His shed blood, while making it so that we will be forever perfect, eternally righteous, and forever free from sin in the realm of the Spirit, where, again, we are not under the Law, nor are we under the curse that the Law brings, simply because we’ve met the one requirement of believing in Jesus as our Redeemer/Savior. We need to tell everyone, that if a person has THIS hope/faith/trust/belief in Jesus, then their hope (their faith/trust/belief) in Jesus will forever take away all of their sins, and that this will make them as pure and perfect as Jesus and the Father are, for all of eternity.
What I am saying is that you MUST be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48)
So, my brothers and sisters, you also DIED to the law through the body of Christ, that you might BELONG TO another, to him [Jesus] who was raised from the dead, in order that we might BEAR FRUIT FOR GOD. For when we WERE [past tense] in the realm of the flesh [under the Law], the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that WE BORE FRUIT FOR DEATH. But NOW [present tense], by dying to what once bound us [the Law], we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and NOT in the old way of the written code [the Law/Commandments]. (Romans 7:4-6)
Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh. Whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be surprised that I said to you, ‘You MUST be born again.’ (John 3:6-7)
With one sacrifice Christ made HIS PEOPLE [His Church/Body/Bride, the born again believers] perfect forever. THEY are the ones who are being made holy. (Hebrews 10:14)
They asked, “What must we do in order to accomplish what God requires?” Jesus replied, “This is what God requires, that you BELIEVE in him whom God sent.” (John 6:28-29)
The law does not depend on faith. No, it says that the ONLY WAY a person will find life BY THE LAW is to OBEY ITS COMMANDS. The law says WE ARE UNDER A CURSE FOR NOT ALWAYS OBEYING IT. But Christ took away that curse. He changed places with us and put himself under that curse. The Scriptures say, “Anyone who is hung on a tree is under a curse.” BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID, the blessing God promised to Abraham was GIVEN TO ALL PEOPLE [not just the Jews]. Christ died so that BY BELIEVING IN HIM we [Gentiles and Jews] could HAVE THE SPIRIT that God promised. (Galatians 3:12-14)
But if God’s Spirit leads you, then the rules of God’s Law have no authority over you. (Galatians 5:18)
Dear friends, we [the born again of God Christians] are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when He appears, WE WILL BE LIKE HIM [completely free from sin] because we will see Him as He is. And everyone who has THIS HOPE in Him purifies himself just as He is pure [perfectly pure and without sin]. Everyone who commits sin breaks the law; because sin is the breaking of the law. You know that He was manifested so that He might take away sins, AND THERE IS NO SIN IN HIM. Everyone who abides IN HIM does NOT sin; EVERYONE who sins has NOT seen Him OR KNOWN HIM. Little children, let no one deceive you! The one who does what is right [puts their faith/hope/trust/belief into Jesus as required] is righteous, just as He is righteous. THE ONE WHO COMMITS SIN IS OF THE DEVIL, for the Devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was manifested for THIS purpose: TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL [sin]. Everyone who has been born of God DOES NOT SIN, because His seed remains in him; AND HE IS NOT ABLE TO SIN, BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD. (1 John 3:2-9)
We [the born again of God Christians] are allowed to do anything [because we’re NOT under the Law, there is NOTHING unlawful for us], but not everything is good for us to do. We are allowed to do anything, but not all things help us grow strong as Christians. (1 Corinthians 10:23)
You WERE [past tense] dead in sins, and your sinful desires were not yet cut away. Then he gave you a share in THE VERY LIFE OF CHRIST, for he forgave all your sins, and BLOTTED OUT THE CHARGES proved against you, the list of his commandments WHICH YOU HAD NOT OBEYED. He took this list of sins and destroyed it by nailing it to Christ’s cross. In this way GOD TOOK AWAY SATAN’S POWER TO ACCUSE YOU OF SIN and God openly displayed to the whole world Christ’s triumph AT THE CROSS WHERE YOUR SINS WERE ALL TAKEN AWAY. (Colossians 2:13-15)
We need to tell people the good news about Jesus and how He came to forever set them free from sin if they’ll simply BELIEVE!
Hello Neil,
I cannot thank you for posting your comment for the following reasons:
Therefore, what you wrote indicates that you have embraced a false gospel that cannot save a soul from Hell.
Some of Your Heretical Statements
Your first false statement commences with:
and ends with the following three statements:
COMMENT
In the King James Bible. Jesus gives His people the commandment for them to:
Instead of accepting this as a commandment, you have wilfully twisted it around to make out that Jesus will somehow “…make them as pure and perfect as Jesus and the Father are, for all of eternity”.
What you have done is make a simple commandment that Jesus issued to all faithful Christians to achieve in this life into something else entirely. This means you have created a HERESY, which means that those who do such things will NOT enter into the kingdom of God! Why? This is because ALL HERESIES are based in LIES. The Bible says that all liars have their eternal torment for doing so in the Lake of Fire:
Your next false statement says:
COMMENT
You have wilfully omitted the need for a Christian to REPENT from those sins that they are supposedly sorry for. For you to omit the need for REPENTANCE here indicates how depraved your false Christian beliefs are, Neil!
In this Jesus says:
Next you say:
COMMENT
Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 that He had “… NOT COME TO DESTROY [the Law], BUT TO FULFIL.”
The Apostle Paul also stated this about the Law:
Next you say:
COMMENT
The above statements of yours refute Christ’s commandments to His genuine believers that command them to:
I have explained in my YouTube video (https://youtu.be/PoAosT-o6uo) how the Apostle Paul’s Gospel has been designed by Jesus Christ to make Christians PERFECT and HOLY if they OBEY it:
I don’t intend analysing your heretical beliefs any further, Neil.
If you can’t see that what you are claiming opposes what the Bible plainly says, this indicates there is nothing that anyone (including me) can do to change your mind.
Unless you change your mind and desire to genuinely repent, I have nothing further to say. I will also remove your other comment as I have no desire to issue any further comments.
Goodbye, Neil.
Alan, I was pleasantly surprised to read your comments about initial and final salvation. Growing up Baptist, I was taught that what you term as initial salvation was, in fact, the only salvation needed. All the final salvation verses were, unfortunately, misunderstood and, therefore, ignored.
Though my interpretation of the ‘fruits’ God is looking for varies slightly from your interpretation, I do commend your overall view of salvation being divided into initial and final salvation.
I would have liked for you to have included in your contact list those churches that existed before the Reformation, especially since they all agree with your general view of initial and final salvation.
I also believe there are many valuable things to be learned from the writings of the very early Christians, especially those were received their teaching from the Apostles themselves. Men like Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp and, one of Ignatius’ disciples, Irenaeus of Lyon. If you have not read the writings of these men, I highly recommend them. They can be easily Googled. While many folks today look only to modern commentators to help them better understand Scripture, I look also to these men whom I consider my ‘go to guys’ so to speak to help me better understand what can often be difficult or confusing in Scripture. I have come to believe that is a big reason there are now some 35,000 separate Protestant denominations and counting.
God bless you in you journey, Bill
Dear Bill,
Thank you so much for your comments about Initial and Final Salvation, as they are very much appreciated.
Many years ago, I looked at the ancient writers that you referred to, but did not discover much about them encouraging each believer to seek out what unique ‘member’ Christ wanted them to be in His spiritual body of believers on the Earth. Also, I did not discover any of those writers promoting the required spiritual gifts being evident for Christians to properly function in those ministries within Christ’s spiritual body of believers – so I stopped looking for the ‘wisdom’ I was seeking in those writers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v54okw8EiHE&t=1s
It was my thirst for THE TRUTH of the MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL that led me to what I have revealed about Initial and Final Salvation on my blog.
I believe that Jesus has more to reveal about this, but He desires that more members of His spiritual body on the Earth join together in UNITY (aka oneness – John 17:11); HOLINESS (without which no Christian will see the Lord – Heb 12:14); A LOVE OF THE TRUTH (the prime evidence of the Holy Spirit indwelling God’s people – 2 Thes 2:10); and can (as “good soldiers of Jesus Christ working together with Christ in Heaven” – 2 Tim 2:3) destroy the works of the Devil – 1 John 3:8.
The time about theological discussions is now past. The time for spiritual action is NOW, because the time is fast approaching when the spiritual darkness will become so great that “no Christian can work in God’s kingdom”:
“…the night cometh, when no man can work.” – Jesus speaking John 9:4.
This is because Satan’s son (The Antichrist) is establishing his kingdom on Earth while Christ is preparing His people for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Only those who meet the Apostle Paul’s gospel terms (My Gospel – Rom 2:16) will be with Christ at that marriage.
If you would like more discussion about this Bill, please send me a reply.
Blessings brother!
D/sir, Alan Manson, I am happy to find you as disciple of Jesus christ.I want to see people become disciple of Jesus.
Hello Dina,
I am very pleased you have found me to be a true Disciple of Jesus Christ. That is how every Christian should portray themselves to be.
How do you think you could assist me to help “people become disciple of Jesus”? Blessings!
D/Alan Manson,
I am also trying to be a disciple of Jesus.what I think is, if Jesus is our master we should become like our master.If people will understand this, then there will be more in number.
Dear ‘Anonymous’ – yes, you are correct in your statement. In this, Jesus said:
“The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.” (Luke 6:40)
Blessings!
