Want to know what I believe the gospel message is? Here it is, The True Gospel, by Paul Washer.
I know that YouTube videos are not popular on this site. Especially longer ones. This one tops them all at 1hr 27min 42sec!
I realize that the likelihood of anyone watching this video is slim to none, and that's OK; this thread will just fall by the wayside. But, if even one person watches this, it will be worth posting. This guy will blow you away. It's the true gospel, unleashed, unedited, not watered down! See if you can tell the difference between this sermon and the ones preached in most American churches today. THIS is the gospel, folks.

Wow, Simple Living! What a blessing that video was. Thank you for sharing it. I wasn't sure I would watch the whole thing, but I was drawn in and couldn't leave!
Two things especially stood out to me--(1) We are not saved from our SINS--we are saved from GOD! In other words--from His wrath. (2) Jesus had to be God because only God could withstand the full wrath of God!
Washer is like a modern-day Jonathan Edwards preaching "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." How transformed the Church would be if we were again taught these things consistently from the pulpit, fully grasped them, and taught them to others as well!

Excellent video!
True repentance is a hate for sin and turning to Christ for the cleansing of one's heart and walking in the purification of Christ's salvation.
It is on going, never ending walk that the Holy Spirit cleansing one of all sin.
We need more ministers that preach repentance not complacency and compromise!!!
Simple, I watch very few of the Youtube videos here ..Not that I don't want to, because I get really frustrated when I can't..I am very hard of hearing and the sound is just noise Once in a blue noom there are kyrics caotioned in and I enjoy those ..
I listened to the entire video, and agree...it is very powerful. I do have one question that I would like to ask him. Why did he not tell the audience what Jesus said before ascending? Mark 16 15-16 " Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."
He did not speak of obedience to the gospel, or washing away their sins in baptism. That is part of the gospel.
My understanding of 'obeying the gospel' is being buried with Christ in baptism, which is the likeness of His death, burial, and resurrection. Romans 6.3 through 5.
I have been thinkng of the translation that I used for posting Mark 16.16. and regret using the NASB. I believe that other translations are more accurate.
NIV: " Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
ASV: " He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned."
Contfraternity: "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be condemned. "
I wish I had a NKJ to quote from, but I don't ( as of yet). I would appreciate if someone would post what it says.
Simple Living, I hope you return with your wise comments on this. :-)
Why did Jesus say to "repent and believe the Gospel" in the beginning of Mark and not include bapism? Why is repentance not included in Mark 16:16? Also, why does Jesus say you must believe and be baptized to be saved, but he only includes unbelief as the reason one perishes? If baptism was necessary, why not include both?
Are you familiar with the fact that the vast majority of scholars reject the authenticity of the end of Mark, including the verses you quoted?

It's rejected because it is missing from all the early manuscripts. Me-thinks that "So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid" was deemed not to be a very good ending.
I tend to believe it was added, as it is a bizarre contradiction to say (basically) "Go tell everybody this great and happy news, and if they don't believe you - to hell with 'em!".
Of course I know this statement makes perfect sense to most evangelicals
That being said, I agree with Paul W. that most 'believers' do not really know God and that is the problem...

Reason: add on

I do not know about the "vast majority of scholars", since I have 9 differant translations, and the only one that leaves those sentences out ( but inserts them in a footnote) is the RSV.
Answer me this: Since Peter was the chosen one to preach the first sermon following Christ's resurrection, why did he answer the multitude as he did, when they asked "What shall we do?". ?
As for your first question, Christ did not include baptism at the first of Mark's epistle because He had not been crucified yet, so it was not given yet.
