The not getting married one? That was Paul's personal choice that he choose to adhere to, and said that it is easier to work for God as a single person rather than attatched but it is better to marry than burn with lust... Others do sort of support that but they were more interested in helping those who are married.

One can make a case for "The rapture"
"...Since it appears that the doctrine was uniquely Pauline and given to him through special revelation by the Lord (1 Cor 15:51; 1 Thess 4:15) "
Others have been proposed, such as the formulation of reconcilation, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
It does depend on what you can see in other scriptures which might coincide with Pauline concepts, be compatible with them, rather than finding either exact matches or contradictions. In this way the rapture can be "found" in Revelation, though it's hardly clear and explicit.

In a certain sense starjumper is right. Paul confirms the teachings of Christ. He gives a little more insight as to there meanings.

I don't think Paul ever made a 'commandment'. All he did was advise people on how to become better Christians. Paul's teachings are more like 'advice' than 'law'.
