There is only one Gospel, Galatians 1:6-10 It is not the Gospel of Calvinism, nor is it the Catholic Gospel. it is the Gospel that makes us perfect and complete in Jesus Christ, Colossians 2:10. No one will enter heaven that has not been, saved, redeemed, justified, reconciled, sanctified and glorified by Jesus Christ. No religion can do what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.
Someone might ask how does all of that happen? All of this happens the minute that a repentant sinner calls on Christ to save them.
"Whosoever that shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13.
When a repentant sinner calls on Christ to save them the first thing that happens is that person is sealed with the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13. The Holy Spirit is God's mark of ownership. From that moment on you belong to God and his Son Jesus Christ. There is no unsealing of the Holy Spirit. There is nothing that can separate you from God and his Son Jesus Christ, Romans 8:35. Once sealed, always sealed. If you fall away it is because you never did believe or have faith in Christ. You were a counterfeit. Many times God will test the new convert to see it they have saving faith, Hebrews 12:6-11. Been there, it was terrible.
The Christian is "In Christ" and Christ is in heaven, Colossians 3:3. All that Jesus is and all that Jesus has done becomes theirs by faith. In Jesus Christ they have become saved, redeemed, justified, reconciled, sanctified and will be glorified. Glorification is the last thing that the Christian will experience. Paul wrote,
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed, for this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality" 1 Corinthians 15:52, 53.
This is when all that Christ has done for us will become a reality and we will become like him, for we shall see him as he is. No one can enter heaven without being glorified. Tho old must be done away with and the new must prevail. These present corruptible bodies would not like heaven. We must be changed into new spiritual, glorified bodies, 1 Corinthians 15:49.
