Galatians 1:6-9; 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Paul used such harsh words against all other gospels, even placing a curse on those who preached a different gospel and led others astray. Likewise, the apostle John also warned us not to believe every spirit, but instead to "try the spirits, whether they be of God, for many false prophets are gone out into the world." Such was the steadfast attitude of the apostles in upholding the one true gospel. Ephesians 4:5 tells us that there is only "one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism." This "one faith" refers to the one gospel of our salvation that the apostles preached. Jude 1:3 - Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 1 John 3:23 - And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
