Following Paul Is Following Christ — and Not Following Paul Is Disobedience to Christ
Posted by Edward Cross on June 6, 2026
The risen Christ appeared to Paul, commissioned him, and made his letters the commandments of the Lord for this age. To follow Paul is to follow the Christ who appointed him. And to neglect Paul is not superior devotion to Jesus — it is disobedience to the risen Lord who sent your apostle to you.
Kingdom Salvation: The Conditions, the Covenant, and the Coming King
Posted by Edward Cross on June 6, 2026
Kingdom salvation is a full program — repentance, baptism, endurance to the end — grounded in the New Covenant made with Israel, enforced by real warnings, and heading toward national fulfillment when the King returns. This article covers the conditions, the Remnant epistles, Matthew 24, Hebrews 6, Acts 15:11, and why both programs must stay in the…
The Holy Apostles of Ephesians 3:5 — Two Apostleships, Two Programs, and Why Paul Names Peter in His Letters
Posted by Edward Cross on June 6, 2026
Ephesians 3:5 names holy apostles and prophets who received the mystery — but who are they? Not the Twelve. This article identifies Paul's mystery-age co-laborers, contrasts the two apostleships, explains the Acts-period collision between the two programs, and shows why Peter appears in Paul's letters to Gentile churches.

Posted by Edward Cross on June 4, 2026
Romans 10:9 is embedded in Paul's explanation of Israel's stumbling, not a universal salvation formula. This article examines what kingdom confession meant, why heart-faith alone saves the Body of Christ, and why the sinner's prayer is not what Paul had in mind.
Let's Go Soul Winning or Let's Go Witnessing. Which is Right?

Paul's gospel was a mystery kept secret since the world began, given by direct revelation of the risen Christ at Acts 9. This article shows why it could not have been preached before Paul, and why his very forgiveness as a blasphemer proves an entirely new dispensation had begun.
