The one true gospel is also called "The Gospel of Christ" because it is a message about the Lord Jesus Christ, God the Eternal Son, by Whom and for Whom all things were created. It is a message about His incarnation, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world, His death, burial, bodily resurrection, ascention to heaven and His soon-coming return to rule and reign from the throne of David in Jerusalem.
A perversion or distortion of the Lord Jesus Christ makes any "gospel" attached to that perversion null and void. Here's an example:
There are people who call themselves "Christian" who deny the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. There are those who say that he was not conceived by the Holy Spirit, that he was just a man, a good man and God was with him but that He is not God. Strange as it may sound there are those who say that Jesus and Satan are brothers. There are some who say His resurrection from the dead was only a spiritual resurrection, that He did not bodily ascend into heaven. These are all distortions of the Glorious Person of our Lord Jesus Christ. They are distortions of the "Gospel of Christ" and the truth remains that there is no salvation in a perversion of the Gospel. to be continued
