Holding to the notion that only one gospel was preached throughout scripture has implications.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
If, as some say, there is only one gospel preached by Jesus, the twelve, and Paul, then not only the gospel taught the disciples is to be believed, but it commands doing all that Jesus commanded them according to Matthew 28:20.
What therefore should we be doing?
[Matthew 10:5-6 KJV] 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Why were they sent?
[Mark 1:14 KJV] 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
They were sent to preach the gospel of the kingdom. This was the gospel Jesus taught the twelve.
If we say that we are to preach this gospel of the kingdom as well, then it must be preached according to all the aspects attending it.
[Mat 10:7 KJV] 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
If we believe this gospel of the kingdom is for us then we likewise would have to do all Jesus taught and not preach it to the Gentiles, but only to Israel.
[Luke 24:47 KJV] 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
If we believe the so called great commission of Matthew 28:19-20 was given to us then Luke 24:47 must be as well. This verse says to begin at Jerusalem.
It would be correct to rightly divide and acknowledge that Jesus was only commanding the eleven disciples. We can learn from all of scripture but not believe we are given instructions and commandments from all scripture.
