Who taught Paul the doctrines of grace?
Paul received the doctrines of grace by revelation and inspiration, not from any human instructor. In the age of grace, he had no one teach him, though his earlier background was under Gamaliel. He later drummed these same doctrines of grace into Priscilla and Aquila.
Les teaches that Paul did not have anybody instruct him in the doctrine of grace. Paul never had anyone outside of his background under Gamaliel, but in the age of grace Paul had no one teach him. His understanding came by revelation and inspiration. By contrast, Apollos had been taught by someone and was instructed in the way of the Lord, but he knew only the baptism of John. Apollos was still steeped in the kingdom economy and knew nothing of the power of the cross or the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Paul later drummed these doctrines of grace into Priscilla and Aquila.
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
