Yes — Scripture and Les Feldick teach that there is only one gospel: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day.
Paul declares in 1 Corinthians 15:1 that he preaches 'the gospel' — not 'a gospel.' Les Feldick emphasizes that the definite article 'the' points to one gospel, and he teaches that every time Paul speaks of the gospel, he means this same message of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. There is no other plan of salvation.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 — Paul identifies 'the gospel' in singular terms and defines it as Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
Romans 1:16 — The same gospel is called 'the gospel of Christ' and is the power of God unto salvation.
In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Paul writes: 'Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.' Scripture presents this message as 'the gospel' — the singular message that Paul preached and the Corinthian believers received. Paul also writes in 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.' In both passages, the text refers to this message as the gospel, not as one gospel among alternatives.
Les Feldick consistently takes his students to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 because he says there is no clearer place in the whole Bible where the gospel is laid out in full ([Clip 2]). He points out that Paul writes 'the gospel,' not 'a gospel,' and that the definite article 'the' designates one ([Clip 1], [Clip 5], [Clip 6]). He teaches that every time Paul references the gospel in his epistles, it is always this one message: that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day ([Clip 2], [Clip 3], [Clip 4]). Les also teaches that the gospel is called by various titles — 'my gospel,' 'the gospel of the grace of God,' 'the gospel of God,' 'the gospel of grace,' and 'the gospel of Christ' — but they all refer to the same three-pronged fact, and there is no other plan of salvation and no other gospel ([Clip 3]). He emphasizes that by simply believing this one gospel, a person can live eternally in God's presence, whereas rejecting it through disobedience leads to eternal separation ([Clip 0]). Les warns that believers need to know what they believe so they are not 'blown about with every wind of doctrine' ([Clip 6]).
The one gospel is explicitly defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4: Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Les Feldick calls this the clearest defining of the gospel anywhere in Scripture. He says it puts John 3:16 in the shade because John 3:16 doesn't tell you everything, while 1 Corinthians 15 tells you everything ([Clip 7], [Clip 2]).
Paul writes 'the gospel,' not 'a gospel.' Les Feldick explains that the definite article 'the' designates one ([Clip 5], [Clip 1]). He even tells of a conversation in which someone compared religions to cow paths, but Paul's wording shows there is only one gospel ([Clip 5]). This is also the gospel in which believers stand — a positional term — so Christians should not be blown about with every wind of doctrine ([Clip 6]).
Les teaches that every human being is an eternal being. God has made salvation so available and free that by simply believing this gospel, a person can live eternally in God's presence. By rejecting the gospel and being disobedient, the person will live forever separated from God ([Clip 0]).
The Eternal Stakes of the Gospel
Les teaches that every human being is an eternal being; believing the one gospel results in eternal life in God's presence, while rejecting it leads to eternal separation from God.
The Gospel Is Singular
Paul declares 'the gospel,' not 'a gospel,' and Les highlights that this singular wording means there is only one gospel.
1 Corinthians 15 as the Clear Gospel Text
Les says 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is the clearest place in the Bible where the gospel is laid out in full, and that every Pauline reference to the gospel points to this one message.
One Gospel, No Other Plan
Les teaches that titles like 'my gospel,' 'the gospel of grace,' and 'the gospel of Christ' all describe the same death, burial, and resurrection — there is no other gospel or way.
Paul's Consistent Gospel
Les reiterates that Paul has only one gospel — Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again — and that this gospel is the power of God unto salvation.
The Definite Article 'The'
Les points to the article 'the' instead of 'a' to show there is only one gospel, and says the gospel is simple enough for a child yet deep enough for a lifetime.
Standing in the One Gospel
Les emphasizes that believers stand in 'the gospel' and need to know what they believe so they are not blown about by every wind of doctrine.
The Clearest Definition of the Gospel
Les teaches that 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is the clearest definition of the gospel anywhere in Scripture, putting John 3:16 in the shade because it tells everything.
1 Corinthians 15:1: Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
Paul introduces his teaching by declaring 'the gospel' — the singular message that defines the one gospel.
1 Corinthians 15:2: By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
This one gospel is the message by which believers are saved.
1 Corinthians 15:3: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
The first element of the one gospel is Christ dying for our sins according to the scriptures.
1 Corinthians 15:4: And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
The gospel also includes Christ's burial and His resurrection on the third day.
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.
Paul calls the same gospel 'the gospel of Christ' and says it is the power of God unto salvation.
Les points to Paul's wording in 1 Corinthians 15:1: 'the gospel,' not 'a gospel.' The definite article indicates singularity. He also teaches that every time Paul refers to the gospel in his epistles, he means the same message of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
The one gospel is defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4: Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Les Feldick calls this the clearest defining of the gospel anywhere in Scripture.
Les Feldick says 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is clearer than John 3:16. He has nothing against John 3:16, but he teaches that John 3:16 doesn't tell you everything, while 1 Corinthians 15 lays out the gospel in full.
Les teaches that by simply believing the gospel, a person can live eternally in God's presence. Rejecting the gospel through disobedience leads to living forever separated from God.
