JESUS’ AND PETER’S KINGDOM GOSPEL REQUIRED:

What Jesus taught during His earthly ministry to Israel:

Known as the "kingdom gospel".

1. Water baptism for salvation and remission of sins, Mk 16:16,   Acts 2:38

2. Conditional forgiveness  Matt 6:14

3. A kingdom on earth as a nation – The promised land – Gen 12:1-7, Lk12:32, Matt 6:10

4. Sell all you have as requirement Lk 12:32-33; 18:22, Acts 2:45; 4:32-34 and 5:1-10. This was required for ALL believers (the little flock) who wanted to go into the kingdom. Read Lk 12:32-33

5. To only go to Jews – Matt 10:5-6 (I know the whole story of the one proselyte Cornelius in Acts 10 when the Lord forced him to go to – Read Acts 11:19 if you think the Gentiles were part of Peter’s ministry)

6. Keeping the law Acts 10:28,  Matt 19:17  And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.  WOW, do you think keeping the 10 commandments gets someone eternal life as Jesus said?  What is the 4th one?  Keep Holy the Sabbath. 

7. Keep the feast days, as it was part of the commandments.

8. Works Salvation  Acts 10:35

9. Offer animal sacrifices Matt 1:4, Mk 1:44

10. Tithing (See Deut. 14 to see the 3 tithes totaling 23.3%)  Luke 11:42.   And don't forget about the offerings on top of that otherwise you are robbing God Mal 3:8-10

11. Forsake ALL - Matt 19:29 KJV   And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 

The list goes on…

The only way to reconcile these verses seeing NO ONE who says they are "following Jesus" is doing all of these things Jesus taught and instructed to everyone is, to rightly divide the word.  We do this by understanding Jesus was not talking to us (the body of Christ) in the 4 gospels but does talk to us through the words He gave to Paul for us today.

Matt 15:24 KJV   But he [Jesus] answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
