You have not answered my question !
Well it depends...
Do you believe the Gospel ?
> If it is the gospel about the crucified and risen Christ .. then yes. Otherwise then no which is not a gospel at all
Its set forth in the Truths of the acronym Tulip !
> It depends.. if it remains in the truth of Christ then yes.. otherwise no.
Now which comes first, the gospel or calvinism.. of course the gospel of Christ.
It also applies, which comes first the gospel or the epistles? And again of course the gospel comes first... the Gospel of Christ.
Since the epistles holds the truth of the gospel, preaching the crucified and the risen Christ God then the truth remains. The same for calvinism or any doctrine, preaching and even songs of praise.
The truth about Christ and his kingdom is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.. so if you hold into what you called TULIP and Christ centered then the gospel is with you.. but even if you utter scriptures in your lips but doesn't hold to teachings and enticed with the worldly deceptions and exchanged the truth for a lie, then your doctrine is futile. Much more we hold to the apostles teaching for they are witnesses of the Lord and has been with the Lord. Even the early church fathers or Calvin must hold to the apostles teaching.
Thus there is no other doctrine and gospel aside from Christ crucified and risen... You must hold to the truth, pure godliness and in the righteousness of Christ.
Remain in the vine my friend.
