How do we know the gospel is being perverted?

Answered in 1 source

The gospel is perverted when any addition to or subtraction from the message of grace through faith is introduced.

Paul emphasizes that the true gospel centers on Christ's work, while any introduction of works, such as circumcision or adherence to the law, perverts that gospel. A clear distinction is made between the true message, which offers salvation freely through faith, and any false teaching that insists on human effort for salvation. This perversion leads to confusion and spiritual trouble among believers, which is why Paul vehemently rejects such alterations.
