Articles of Faith, p. 202 “The gospel of Christ is the everlasting gospel; its principles, laws, and ordinances, and the Church 
organization founded thereon, must be ever the same.” —James Talmage
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”.
The transliteration for gospel is ‘euangelion’ which means ‘good news’. The word gospel isn’t found in the OT, but the phrase ‘good news’ can be found in numerous OT passages. Here’s a great explanation of it from RC Sproul —
“In ancient days when soldiers went out to battle, people waited breathlessly for a report from the battlefield about the outcome. Once the outcome was known, marathon runners dashed back to give the report. That is why Isaiah wrote, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news” (Isa. 52:7). The watchman in the watchtower would look as far as the eye could see into the distance. Finally, he would see the dust moving as the runner sped back to the city to give the report of the battle. The watchmen were trained to tell by the way the runner’s legs were churning whether the news was good or bad. If the runner was doing the survival shuffle, it indicated a grim report, but if his legs were flying and the dust was kicking up, that meant good news. That is the concept of gospel in its most rudimentary sense.”
Oh beloved, we must test all things (1 Jn 4:1) to see if they match up with what sweet Jesus told us!
The Church’s explanation of what gospel sounds more like a prison sentence than it does good news! Ironically (or maybe not), even their communion resembles prison food…
Share the glorious news of what the word ‘gospel’ means with the Mormon you know!!!

And don’t forget their chapels are called wards…just another bondage reference.
INDEED, “How beautiful are the feet”.
1 Corinthians 15 is the only Gospel that we received and in which we stand. And more importantly it’s the only Gospel that saves.

Originally Answered: Why are individual churches called wards?
A ward is a part of a city. In many big cities, the city council has its representation by wards. For example, here is a map of Washington, DC showing its eight wards. This is a political designation of the DC government. It has nothing to do with the Church organization there.
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the local congregations are called wards because that’s what they were called in Nauvoo, Illinois, the city built by Latter-day Saints in the 1840s. At the time, Nauvoo was the biggest city in Illinois, and the city government and church organization were pretty tightly linked.
Nauvoo had 10 wards until the city was forceably abandoned in 1845. Interestingly, these congregations did not have regular weekly meetings like we are used to today. That became standardized in 1877.
In France, the congregations are not called tutelles, which would be the literal translation for wards, but rather paroisses, which means parishes. In Spanish a ward is a barrio.
The Bible is known as The Good Book. Someone asked the prophet Joseph Smith what Mormon means he simply replied more good.
He goes in detail to say. “The Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on this Earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than any other book.” And Jesus Christ Being the Cornerstone.
Ephesians 2:20 (His Church) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Without, The Book of Mormon, The living Jesus Christ, and living apostles and prophets and restored The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There is no real Church of Christ on earth.
Just churches of men and the Devil.
