The gospel the Apostle Paul preached was not one that he learned through human instruction, but rather he received it by divine revelation.  Any gospel that differs even one iota from the gospel the Apostle Paul preached is a false, heretical, Satanic gospel and should be utterly rejected by God’s people in Christ’s churches.  The leading gospel of this sort is the Arminian gospel, which has been called “Satan’s masterpiece” and “the slickest lie the Devil ever told.”  The Arminian gospel is another gospel of a different kind, not another gospel of the same kind as the Apostle Paul preached.  It is not a gospel of God’s grace, but it is a gospel of human merit.  It is a gospel preached by those who cause trouble for the Lord’s true churches.  It is a perverted, accursed gospel., regardless of who preaches it.  Let us briefly consider some of the unscriptural characteristics of the Arminian gospel.
