Series Guide • One Gospel for Jew and Gentile (KJV)
This teaching comes from the King James Bible, and every verse I quote is from the KJV.
These are my own convictions from the Word of God, shared through The Prevailing Word of God ministry, and they do not speak for any local church.
Four studies, one answer from Scripture: one Saviour, one saving sacrifice, and one gospel for Jew and Gentile alike.
Some teach that God has one gospel of salvation for Israel and another for the Gentiles. This teaching is often called Mid-Acts dispensationalism, or hyperdispensationalism. These four studies test that claim against the whole testimony of the King James Bible.
Paul wrote to Gentile believers that Jesus Christ had removed the barrier between them and Israel.
A note on the Scripture labels. Each verse I quote carries one of two labels. Prescriptive marks a text that teaches what God requires or declares as true for every believer, such as Ephesians 2:8-9. Descriptive marks a text that records what happened or what was said at a particular time, such as an event in the Gospels or the book of Acts. Both are fully the Word of God, and the label only shows how a verse works in its setting.

“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;”
Ephesians 2:14 (KJV)

The blood of Jesus Christ is the one ground of the remission of sins for Jew and Gentile alike. I walk through it in my study of the Book of Hebrews.
The Central Proclamation
Salvation is only through a personal relationship with God the Father by grace through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. At the moment of faith in Jesus Christ, the believer is instantly and permanently indwelt by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit regenerates, seals, leads, guides, empowers, and sanctifies the believer in their walk with God.
Descriptive (verses 18, 19, and 21) and Prescriptive (verse 20)
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
2 Corinthians 5:18-21 (KJV)
