I once had an experience concerning the so called "high gospel" that convinced me to discard this concept in the dumpster.

I was on a 3 day field trip. The last night of the trip around the campfire the stories were quite lewd. The next day in the van on the way home I began to preach the gospel based on word in Genesis "Adam, where are you?". I think we had about 16 students in the van, I was in the back seat, and the "life of the party" was driving. The message seemed to really strike a nerve, the van was very silent, and I was feeling satisfied. Inside the Lord was saying "tell them to repent! Tell them they could die today they need to repent!" I said, "No Lord, I speak the high gospel, I wouldn't cheapen my gospel like that." After a minute of this the Lord said "I don't have any more time to waste with you." At that moment the driver pulled out to pass the car in front of us. We were on a two lane highway, going up a hill, and he crossed a solid yellow line. It was as though all 16 people collectively held their breath. Inside I was repenting to the Lord. When we pulled even with the car in front another car appeared over the hill coming our way. Our driver (and the driver of the car we were trying to pass) both immediately hit the brakes, so it looked as though we were joined at the hip. As soon as he realized the other car had hit the brakes (and apparently this was also true of the other driver) he hit the gas again. Still, we were joined at the hip, traveling about 60 mph into a head on collision. He then signaled to turn left and pulled off the road into the dirt on the edge of the ditch.

Since then I consider the entire concept of "high gospel" and "low gospel" to be the invention of people who know nothing of the gospel.
