As a pastor of a local church, I have to see if prospective church members understand the gospel. I do this in many of the membership interviews I conduct before I recommend someone to join our church. If you're a church mover you also want to help the church members you interact with grasp the gospel. But you don't want to make them feel dumb for not knowing it. How can you help them? I have four questions I ask to get through the elements of the gospel message corresponding to God, Man, Christ, and Faith. I start with the open ended question: What is the gospel? The most common response to this question is along the lines of, "Jesus died for us and rose from the dead" or something like that. "That's great!" I respond. Then I build from here.
