As we study we are to take notice to which one/s He is speaking. Jesus is speaking only to those of Israel, His sheep, but more specifically His earthly appo0inted Apostles. It is them, and those of Israel that was to carry the Great Commission to the world - NOT A GENTILE. This is what THEY were supposed to do. It did not happen.
To the Jew first and then to the Gentiles! Jesus came to the Jews first and therefore the first congregation of Christ at Jerusalem began with Jewish membership. However, the commission to this Jewish congregation was to "make disciples" OF ALL NATIONS (Mt. 28;19) and to "the uttermost parts of the earth (Acts 1:8). THIS WAS A COMMISSION TO GO TO THE GENTILES GIVEN THE JEWISH CONGREGATION BEFORE THERE WAS A PAUL. It did not start with Paul as Peter went to the Gentiles BEFORE Paul did (Acts 10). What began with Jewish believers was to be taken and include Gentile believers.
If we correctly divide out the Word of God to the Gentile we com to ACTS 9, where Jesus Christ from heaven Chooses Paul to be THE lApostle to the Gentile, and He gives to Paul A GOSPLE of GRACE THROUGH FAITH WITHOUT WORKS. We should believe the GRACE COMMISION and not the GREAT COMMISION He gave to His People that He said He came for. Out with OLD, and in with the NEW. Are we saved by Grace Through Faith, or do are we stand by water baptism as commanded in the Great Commission, and preached by HIS earthly Apostles in Acts 2:38, in order for them to receive remission of their sins.
In Galatians 1:8-9 condemn any "other gospel" preached by "any" other human or angel! Paul went to Jerusalem to share and confirm that the gospel He preached was the same gospel given to them by Christ (Gal. 2:1-9) the only difference was that he was sent to the gentiles and they to the Jews (Gal. 2:9). They gave him "the right hand of fellowship" which signified they were in agreement in the same gospel. Paul (Saul) helped Barnabas preach the SAME gospel in Antioch (Acts 11). Paul claims twice that His gospel is the same gospel preached by all the prophets of the Old Testament:
Acts 26:22
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
Heb. 4:2
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
In the same book that Paul places a curse on any man or angel from heaven that preaches another gospel he confirms that the gospel preached to Abraham is the same gospel he preached to the GENTILE Galatian congregations and that is preached to "ALL WHO ARE OF FAITH"
Gal. 3:6 ¶
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
In Romans 4:11 he sets for the OLD TESTAMENT Abraham as the "father" or role modely for ALL who are of faith and All who are justified by faith.
Peter told the GENTILES in Acts 10:43 that the gospel being preached to them as GENTILES was the same gospel preached by all the prophets:
Acts 10:43
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
You are doing exactly what Paul said was "accursed"! You are claiming that Paul was sent to preach "another gospel" where he says there is "no other gospel" and those who make such a claim are "accursed"
GAl. 1:6 ¶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto
another gospel:
7
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach
any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
let him be accursed.9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach
any other gospel unto you than that ye have received,
let him be accursed.
Jesus said BEFORE the cross, BEFORE Pentecost, BEFORE Saul was commissioned:
"
I am the way the truth and the life NO MAN cometh to the Father but by me" - Jn. 14:6
Peter said BEFORE Saul was saved:
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
You are spouting out complete ignorance of God's Word! Worse, you are placing yourself under the very curse Paul intentionally applied to those who would come preaching the gospel you are claiming!
The Law was never given to save anyone, to justify anyone. It was ADDED to teach what sin is and lead them to "repent of dead works" and come to faith in Christ and receive him when He appeared. We preach the same gospel today, the gospel of grace that looks back at the cross by faith as the prophets preached looking forward to the coming of Christ (Acts 10:43).
and if the baptism in the Spirit were a personal individual salvation thing he would not have had to go all the way back to "the beginning" but would have said "This is what has been happening to the saints from the beginning."
