Okay, if the kingdom of God is the gospel, or an aspect of it, then Witness didn't
Teach/Preach Another Gospel.
Witness Lee didn't have that problem. Just one sample:
"Therefore, according to the Scriptures, the kingdom of god stretches from eternity to eternity, without beginning and without ending. It is very wide in its scope. The kingdom of the heavens, which has a beginning and an ending, is a part of the kingdom of god, but its scope is narrower. Before the kingdom of the heavens began, there was already the kingdom of god. After the kingdom of the heavens ends, the kingdom of god will continue to exist for eternity. During the time of the kingdom of the heavens, the kingdom of the heavens is the kingdom of god. Therefore, sometimes the kingdom of the heavens is also called the kingdom of god."
~ Witness Lee, The Kingdom, Chapter 47, Section 6

And bro UntoHim, sorry for getting off topic with that silly info. Maybe I can redeem myself.
This thread may not be for me. I didn't leave, or get pushed out of, the local church because Lee taught another gospel. I didn't see him as straying from THE GOSPEL.
In fact, if I think back to those days, if you had asked me about Lee's gospel, coming out of Southern Baptist indoctrination, I would have told you that Witness Lee's gospel was better ; that the SBC was actually a different gospel ... and Lee had the right one ... recovered by finally coming back to one church one city ... the way it was in the days of Acts.
So far the kingdom of God question is not the reason Lee taught another gospel. So if Lee did preach another gospel it wasn't because Lee didn't preach The Kingdom.
It's not settled that Lee taught another gospel. We're still fumbling with this topic. I don't think he did. What Lee taught and preached wasn't the problem ... as far as I saw.
