My man! I actually ask folks to summarize the gospel quite often.
Back when I was just getting into the reformed faith, I started realizing that all the evanjellyfish around me had no idea what they believe, and so I started asking some folks to send me their answer to the question, "What is the gospel?" The responses were appalling! Went to the pastor and asked him why he doesn't preach Christ crucified on the regular, and he said, "Most of these folks have grown up in church, so they've already heard it enough. I am giving them 'meat' now, since they have moved beyond the milk."
I dropped the descriptions of the gospel on him that I had gathered from his congregation. The next week the sermon was Christ crucified.
NO ONE moves beyond the need to hear the gospel preached on the regular.
Now that I am an elder at my church, one of the questions I ask every time someone wants to become a member of our church is, "What is the gospel?" The answers have done nothing but reinforce my conviction that people need to keep hearing it.
