Aloha brother Tim,
You got it! I'm NOT "
assuming" anything! All men (living during the church age) are going to be judged by Paul's "Gospel" - that's what it says, and I believe it. I'm not going to try to "
second guess" what God "
might have meant" - I believe what Paul said (when he said it & where he said it) - plus nothing & minus nothing.
Romans 16:25 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
WHY else was it necessary for him to receive "
his Gospel" by direct "revelation" from the Lord Jesus Christ and NOT from other men (Peter, James, John, etc.), IF his "Gospel" was the "SAME"?
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,
Ephesians 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
