What does a person have to do to be saved according to the gospel Paul preached?
According to the gospel Paul preached, a person is saved by believing the message that Christ died, was buried, and rose again according to the Scriptures. All one must do for salvation is believe it; any other gospel, even from an angel, is accursed.
Les teaches that the plan of redemption was already in place long before Adam was created, and that Christ died, was buried, and rose again according to the Scriptures. He emphasizes that all a person has to do for salvation is believe it. Paul warns in Galatians 1:8 that if anyone, even an angel from heaven, preaches any other gospel than what Paul preached, let him be accursed. Les explains this is not merely prison or capital punishment but eternal separation from God and eternal doom for those who corrupt and pervert the pure gospel of grace.
