Without Paul the Apostle, there would be no Gospel of Grace through faith alone, which is the doctrine of the Christian church in this current age of Grace. Paul received a new Revelation. "the mystery" of the Gospel of Grace through faith. John the Baptist, and Peter also preached Grace through belief and an act of obedience through baptism. Paul's message focused on Grace through faith alone. Paul received revelation from God, "the mystery", shared it with the 12 disciples in Israel, and then took the message of grace through faith to the rest of the world. The difference in Paul's message was that it was for people who did not have the benefit of a first hand knowledge of Jesus Christ, and his Resurrection. From a logical standpoint, it takes little faith to believe that which you witnessed with your own eyes. Peter's message at Pentecost reflected this first hand knowledge of the Resurrection of Jesus in Jerusalem at that time. Paul's message was for those outside Israel. Paul's Gospel (Romans 2:16)(acts 9:10-16) will expire at the Rapture, the two prophets of Revelation will preach a new message from God until Jesus Second Coming, at which time, Jesus "Kingdom Gospel" which he preached prior to The Cross, will again be in effect. Paul was a full Jew, and a Roman citizen. He wrote Romans through Philemon, which is the Word for the Church until the age of Grace expires. Peter confirms Paul's message in his own Epistles as well.
