I have been involved in church on and off all my life. But I've never heard anything about rightly dividing or anything like that! We have a pastor in the family. And I think that's all I got to say about that.; I was taught to believe that if I committed one little sin that I had fallen out of grace.
Hence the reason I was in and out of church. It saddens me that I have spent so many years not knowing the real truth. And it has been such a blessing to have found your site. We should never take just our pastor's word,
We should always explore for ourselves. Our pastor, he's a very good man and I am sure that he didn't do this maliciously but it was the way he was trained.
Thank you pastor feldick for ur lifetime dedication of Preaching the truth!! I can't stop watching your videos😊❤
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊 However, Les was (4/5/2023, he went home to be with the Lord) BY FAR THE VERY BEST humble, Holy Spirit-led, faithful, dedicated, uncompromising, Dispensational/rightly-dividing, Bible teacher, this side of our precious Lord and Savior, JESUS CHRIST, and our Apostle of GRACE -------- PAUL!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Praise the Lord for the Gospel of grace that Paul wrote in his epistles. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Amen! Thanks for commenting! Grace and peace...
Unfortunately, Les Feldick is wrong when it comes to this issue.
If you look at Galatians 2:7, please note and remember that a FEW YEARS BEFORE this, God had revealed the door open to the Gentiles through Peter at Joppa; it is all there in Acts 10 with the visions and so-forth. He then goes to Cornelius, etc., and so it was through Peter that the door was first opened to the Gentles, but what Paul is alluding to in Galatians 2:7 is that, subsequent to that, there was a mutual agreement amongst their spheres of of focus! Where it says "gospel of," in the Greek it can mean "gospel FOR"--i.e., 'the gospel FOR the Gentiles', 'the gospel FOR the Jews': The Gospel is NO DIFFERENT between the two! but the gospel addressed to the Gentiles was merely Paul's assigned sphere of activity, and of course Peter, even though he was the one through which it was opened, was relegated to the circumcision or to the Jews. It's interesting that the apostles established no churches outside Judea; even of those that were scattered abroad, there is NO RECORD of them preaching to the Gentiles, but that doesn't mean that there are two gospels; this is a tragedy that is being taught in the churches today, and it is based on a lot of erroneous misunderstanding, etc.
Interestingly, in verse 9 of Galatians 2, it clearly tells us here that there was a MUTUAL AGREEMENT between all of them, for this is how they carved up the known world at the time, spreading the gospel. It is basically saying, "Hey, we all AGREE that it's the same gospel, so you go your way, we'll go ours, and we'll each do our work!" That was basically what was going on here, not this 'two gospel' weirdness.
Peter had been preaching the same gospel that was Paul was to the Galatians, for just read "Peter's Gospel" in Acts Chapter 2:38-39. In verse 37, they asked Peter, "...what shall we do?" Peter gives them the answer is verses 38 and 39:
"38 Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and BE BAPTIZED everyone of you IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for the remission of sins, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT."
"39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
You see? Peter's gospel is NO DIFFERENT than Paul's! Look at Acts Chapter 3 as another example:
Verse 19: "Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord:
Verse 20: "And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached to you:
Verse 21: "Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of ALL HIS HOLY PROPHETS since the world began."
This goes on and on, the same in Acts chapter 4:10-12, Peter addresses the Sanhedrin there--the same Gospel, my friend! Verse 12 is especially important... and this comes from Peter.
There is NO DISTINCTION from him and Paul. In fact, if you take the time to read Peter's first letter in the very first chapter, which was written to Jewish converts, again you will discover that it's the same gospel that Paul is preaching! The ONLY DIFFERENCE is that Paul gets into "justification"; Peter doesn't focus on that, but Pauls adds that insight when he says that "we are accepted in the beloved" in Ephesians, and so on.
It's One Body, One Spirit, One Hope. Period.
Much love!
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

Actually Feldick is right and you are wrong.
Peters gospel is:1 Peter 1:24-25:
For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower thereof falls away:
25 But the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
This is Peters gospel.
Pauls Gospel is different:
1 Corinthians 15:1-8:
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and in which you stand;
2 By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of over five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one untimely born.
@@DerrickthePinecone With respect, the gospel is simple. It’s not a convoluted maze reserved for just a few. That’s why the gospel of Jesus Christ is called “the Good News!”
I thank God for Les He helped open up the word to me. Praise God.
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
He was a heretic teaching false doctrines of demons
And Amen here!
AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Because of pride, this LIE has fooled many, taking them captive.
It is the false cult of the "Paul Only Cult" a.k.a. "Hyper-dispensationalism" and they are completely deceived and do not use sound biblical exegesis (nor do they even know what that is), and while claiming to follow only Paul's teachings, they ignore what Paul warned about in 1 Corinthians 1 10-13.
The reason for this is the age old need to feel special, like they have some "new" or "secret" knowledge that others do not have, which is grounded in pride and totally refuted by God's Holy Word (the Gnostics had the same base problem).
-- Paul again refutes this notion here, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Study according to the WHOLE counsel of God, not just Romans thru Philemon.
Sound biblical exegesis is how we study God's Holy Word from Genesis to Revelation.
-- "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness," 2 Timothy 3:16
---"Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all [d]speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" 1 Corinthians 1:10-13
What makes this gospel single - one gospel - is the truth of Acts 4:12: “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” And 1 Timothy 2:5: “There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” And John 14:6, where Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” In other words, there is one Savior, one gospel, one way to be saved. Because there is one God and one universal problem - in every culture and every ethnicity and all places and all times - that needs to be solved if anyone anywhere is to escape the wrath of God and gain everlasting joy in God’s presence. And that problem is sin. The one God has dealt with the one main problem in one way through one Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thank you Mr. Feldick for showing how to rightly divide the Word of God and the difference between the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Grace. Rest in Peace. We love you and Iris with all of our hearts. .
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Sorry. Don't follow a MAN. Be like the Bereans. Read Acts chapter 15, and see if you can conclude that Peter was saying there were TWO Gospels. This is FALSE teaching, and should be rejected. Follow Christ, NOT PAUL. Follow Christ, NOT LES. Let us all praise God that He made it clear from Genesis onward that ALL NATIONS would be saved by FAITH. He gave us the LAW to let us know how IMPOSSIBLE it would be for us to be perfect.

Why did Apostle Paul say " My Gospel " ?
Was it a location he wanted us to go to for Salvation in the Bible? Was God only dealing with one man " Apostle Paul " for the world to know how to find Salvation and how to live a Christian life in his doctrine ?
Jesus Christ has chosen Apostle Paul.
Acts 9:15
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Apostle Paul gospel was a secret.
Romans 16:25
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 16:17
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Ephesians 4:14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Romans 1:17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Romans 2:16
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Apostle Paul's location of his gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 . 😇😇😇
Lets all focus on the cross, Jesus Christ died for all our sins and was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures for our Salvation ❤❤❤.
Yes there were two gospels at that time! But now there's only one gospel today that saves 1st Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1 through 4. We can learn from the gospel preached by Peter, James, John, etc etc John the Baptist and JESUS. All of their teaching and writing was written for our LEARNING. Romans 15:4
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
One plus nothing is one, actually....
If nothing is null... it cannot be used in a math equation. This anything +,×,÷,- a null is null ( or nothing)
Leave the theology and Believe the Gospel of The Grace of our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. PERIOD!
John 3:16
1st Corinthians 15:1-4
Romans 10:9-10
Keep in mind JOHN 3:16 is BACKGROUND info for us today, in this Zge of GRACE. JOHN 3:16 was to the Nation of ISRAEL, under the Law, NOT to the GENTILE world. See JOHN 3:16 along with ISAIAH 9:6-7, as well as MATT. **10:5-6,7; **15:24 & ACTS **11:19. Now if you use PAUL'S GOSPEL of the GRACE of God **[i.e. ACTS **20:24; ROM. **3:19-20,23; **6:23; **10:9-10,17; 1 COR. **15:1-4,(16,*17,19,*20)] along with JOHN 3:16 (recognizing it's BACKGROUND info. We should believe, anyway), then you're on SOLID ground.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
@@savannahhernandez3467 Absolutely! Agreed. My reasoning of the verses.... “The world” “whosoever”
John 3:15-17
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Where there two Gospels in the book of Acts ? ?
Galatians 2:7
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Apostle Paul's gospel
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Apostle Peter's gospel
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Today, God is dealing with everyone through Apostle Paul's gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 .
Apostle Peter had to admit Paul's epistle is of God.
2 Peter 3:15-16
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

You may want to read Acts Chapter 15. This is false teaching from Feldick (and Bullinger, his predecessor, whehter Feldick admitted/realized this or not). If you suggest Paul did not preach repentance or that he did not baptize anyone, you are mistaken. There are NOT two Gospels. Don't elevate Paul above Christ. Repent of this evil/false teaching.
@@john14_63
Have you ever read the whole book of Acts. There is so many changes. Your not understand the whole puzzle. Repentance is good when you are already saved. Jesus Christ died on the cross for all YOUR sins, why are you repenting? ? . Just think about it.
Jesus Christ paid it all on the cross.
Yes, Saul of Tarsus got saved first, then got baptized, never said he repented. Read Romans through Philemon and you will see Apostle Paul never teaches repentance for Salvation, it was a Jewish thing. Apostle Paul was chosen to go to the Gentiles. Ask God to open you heart to understand the scriptures for Salvation. 🙏🙏🙏
they are in Christ ,they may not understand the term. less appears to get legalist, just what he s preaching against .
Unfortunately, Les Feldick is wrong when it comes to this issue.
If you look at Galatians 2:7, please note and remember that a FEW YEARS BEFORE this, God had revealed the door open to the Gentiles through Peter at Joppa; it is all there in Acts 10 with the visions and so-forth.

You are wrong, you think cause you write a lot makes you right.
READ 2 PETER 3. EVEN PETER GOT ON BOARD WITH PAUL'S GRACE GOSPEL .
My Bible tells me that I will be judged under Paul's Gospel, Not John Calvin theology.
Salvation is Believing on what Jesus did at the cross death burial and Resurrection period. Per Paul.
@@tractorfone5567 I don't think that at all! That's your petty assumption.
I agree with you: Peter DID get on board with what Paul was preaching, which was revealed to him, especially when you see Peter stand up in Acts 15 at the Council of Jerusalem and say out of his mouth that they essentially agreed with Paul and they went on from there to preach what Paul said to preach, which is 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, THE GOSPEL. I agree with you!
Where I don't agree is to say that Paul was the first in the Body of Christ or that the Church didn't exist before Paul. This is an error that can be easily refuted from the Scriptures. The major differences is that in the early part of Acts, people were receiving the Holy spirit differently than we do today. The book of acts is a transitional book, and you can see the difference as you move along. We no longer have to be dipped in water to receive the holy spirit, but rather its by BELIEF. Faith plus nothing, I agree!
Les Feldick is right! The only minor difference is that I don't see where Peter kept on preaching what he was preaching in the early part of Acts, because Paul straightened out Peter and the rest of the apostles, so they all went preaching what Paul told then to preach after Acts 15.
@@DerrickthePinecone You have me so confused after reading your original comment to this most recent comment. BUT ANYHOW:
SALVATION IS BELIEVING ON WHAT JESUS DID AT THE CROSS DEATH BURIAL AND RESURRECTION PERIOD.
@@tractorfone5567 What's the confusion? I used to think that Les Feldick was teaching that Paul was the first in the Body of Christ and that the Church started with Paul, but I was wrong and so I've changed my stance. The church was started by the apostles after the Cross (it existed before Paul), which means that The Church (Body of Christ) existed before Paul ever came on the scene, which also means that Paul wasn't the first in the Body of Christ, which he makes clear throughout his epistles, especially in Romans 16 where he says that there were people 'in Christ BEFORE ME'.
Anyway, we're on the same page! I agree with you, the ONLY WAY to be saved today is by trusting in THE BLOOD ATONEMENT of Christ! The Gospel is 1st Corinthians 15:1-4! The death, burial and resurrection! Praise God!
