AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 3:11 ¶ "As for me, I baptize you with water because of [your] repentance [that is, because you are willing to change your inner self--your old way of thinking, regret your sin and live a changed life], but He (the Messiah) who is coming after me is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to remove [even as His slave]; He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire (judgment). [Luke 3:16] |

Bible Note: What is the "full gospel"? One hears a lot of talk about the "full gospel". The implication is that some may have a partial gospel while others may have a half gospel, but only an elite few are blessed with knowing the "full gospel." But the Word of God alone defines the full gospel. It is defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. "Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures." 1 Cor 15:1-4 (NASB) There you have it. The Gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, according to the scriptures. This is the full gospel. Grace to you, Kalos |
