Why do the four Gospels belong to the Old Testament rather than to the Pauline revelation?
The four Gospels belong to the Old Testament because they are connected with Temple worship, the Old Testament covenants, and the promise of the coming Messiah. Under that system, the blood of animals was the only approach to God. The blood of Christ is the way to God once the Pauline revelations come. The two concepts must be kept separate.
Les explains that the twelve were still basically Jewish, connected with Temple worship, the Old Testament covenants, and the promise of the coming Messiah. He notes that in the Old Testament the blood of animals was the only approach to God, so consequently the four Gospels belong to the Old Testament. The blood of Christ is the way to God once we get to the Pauline revelations, and the two concepts must be kept separated. Apollos knew nothing of Paul's Gospel; he only knew the Gospel of the Kingdom preached by Jesus, the twelve, and John the Baptist—repentance, baptism, and believing Jesus was the Christ. Priscilla and Aquila later expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
