FULL Gospel or FOOL Gospel
( which do you believe ? )
by Carl Giordano

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. "---Hebrews 13:8

" How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
for God was with Him." ----Acts 10:38

" Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.
---John 14:12

" Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."---Luke 10:19

" And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.......And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.....and they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following."
---Mark 16:15,17,18,20

Somebody has well said--"Preaching is proclaiming the Word. Teaching is explaining the Word."

Of course, according to God's Bible, we need both. The Word should be boldly proclaimed and the Word should be plainly explained. Problem is, today, "preachers"/ "teachers" spend more time
explaining away the Word than they ever do explaining it and proclaiming it. Of course, they have learned how to do the explaining away ,very well, under the tutelage of their Seminary professors
and Bible School teachers who for the most part are believers in and proclaimers of what I call the FOOL gospel. There is a FOOL gospel and there is a FULL gospel. The FOOL gospel is believed by FOOLISH men who in the carnal reasonings of their unconverted and unsanctified minds are determined to explain away anything, within Holy Writ, that they cannot understand with their carnal and worldly wise reasonings. The SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD must be EXPLAINED AWAY; and in it's place a DEAD RELIGION is substituted in place of a vibrant and supernatural relationship between the true believer and his LIVING GOD who "changes not" and is "the same yesterday, and today, and forever." That is why I call this--The FOOL gospel.
Only a FOOL would trifle with, and try to explain away, the clear and plain teachings of God's Holy Bible. ( SEE PROVERBS 30:5, 6 and REVELATION 22:18, 19 )

For instance, the perpetrators of, and believers in, the FOOL gospel have relegated their "Christianity" to a dead and boring RELIGION in which about all the modern "saint" has access to ( as far as an experience with God is concerned ) is a seat on the pew and a pack of tithing envelopes. The belief of the FOOL gospel folks is that, yes, Jesus was raised from the dead, but then after He ascended to Heaven He went into HIBERNATION until His second coming, and then, Oh ! Boy ! Jesus will be back in operation as the wonder working LIVING GOD !.....
But, now, since the close of the first century, and the completion of the written Word, we must understand that we must now be satisfied with a mostly dormant Savior who is in a some what near dead, or hibernated state. Yes, we can "Go to church" and yes, we can sing hymns, and yes, we must tithe, and yes, we must believe all the mumbo-jumbo taught by the overly educated tool of Satan standing in the modern pulpit doing his best to console the bored "believers"; and doing his best to explain away all of God's Word, he possibly can get by with, amongst the worldly minded and Scripturally ignorant folks who fill his pews.

In a FOOL gospel church you never have to have your feathers ruffled with much preaching against SIN, because after all, the FOOL gospel preacher/teacher offers cheap tickets to Heaven
at the expense of ALL the teachings of Holy Writ which tell us plainly that---- " without HOLINESS no man will see the Lord." ( Hebrews 12:14 )

The purveyors of this FOOLHARDY gospel, which offers cheap grace--- allowing "believers" to SIN on their way to Heaven, have called this "teaching"---"UNCONDITIONAL ETERNAL SECURITY" or "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED". In other words, the teaching is that no matter how much a "believer" SINS on his/her way to Heaven, it's OK, as long as one has gotten his/her FREE TICKET to Heaven, by "MAKING A DECISION FOR CHRIST." One wonders just what it is that they made a "decision" about. A well known pastor correctly and eloquently made his point against this non-sensical, and un-Scriptural teaching, by stating----

"A 'decision' is something you make at Mcdonalds. Should I get a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder ?---you have to make a decision. But, SALVATION is obtained by repenting of ALL SIN and surrendering your life totally to the LORD Jesus and walking with Him in OBEDIENCE, in accordance to the dictates of His Holy Bible." ( see Matthew 7:13 thru 23 and Acts 20:21 and all of James 2 )

Please, don't misunderstand. The term "DECISION " is legitimate, if by "DECISION"
we mean that one has made a decision to REPENT and FOLLOW JESUS with all his or her heart.
But, if we have simply decided on a free ticket to heaven, while all the while continuing to live for the devil, then we are of all people totally---DECEIVED. Eternal HELL is full to the brim with folks that have made such a "decision."

Then again, the FOOL gospel people have done their very best to explain away the Scriptures used above in our texts. Especially Mark 16 where we read that JESUS said that the common everyday BELIEVER should be preaching the gospel in POWER, and in the DEMONSTRATION of HOLY GHOST POWER, by laying hands on the sick ( in Jesus' mighty name ) so that they may be made every whit whole and healed by the POWER of Almighty God. Neither do the FOOL
gospel "believers" believe in CASTING OUT OF DEVILS, NOR SPEAKING WITH "NEW TONGUES". It's business as usual each and every Sunday at church. Nobody has to worry about things getting out of hand, nor about "WILD FIRE" because these FOOL gospel churches have absolutely NO FIRE. Dead, Dead, and Deader is the order of service; and the sleepy minded pew dwellers yawn coming in and going out.

The FOOL gospel folks believe that Jesus still saves the soul when one makes a "decision". And they believe in a "JESUS" that will do great things in the FUTURE---i.e. The Rapture of the church, Millennium, New heavens and new earth etc.---but all their expectation and hope of the miraculous workings of God is always relegated to the FUTURE.

Then, on the other hand, there is a FULL gospel. The FULL gospel is the one and only true gospel that can be found within the pages of God's Great Bible. The FULL gospel believers believe that---JESUS SAVES, JESUS HEALS, JESUS BAPTIZES WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND FIRE, AND HE DOES IT ALL HERE AND NOW IN THIS PRESENT TIME AND IN OUR PRESENT GENERATION.
(See entire New Testament)

AND IT IS THIS VERY SAME LIVING GOD (JESUS ) WHO WILL, ONE DAY SOON, DESCEND FROM HEAVEN ON A WHITE CHARGER AND TAKE THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD UNTO HIMSELF AND REIGN FOREVER AND EVER AS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS !!!--- See Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 17, 21 and Rev. 19 etc. etc.


When it comes to accomplishing "The Great Commission" ( preaching the gospel in all the world with the miraculous power of God confirming the Word---Matthew 28 & Mark 16 ) the FULL gospel is the only gospel that ever did, or ever will, get the job done.

We need preachers who will dare to preach a RESURRECTED and LIVING CHRIST !
A JESUS who never changes and is the same yesterday, today, and forever !
A JESUS who SAVES the soul, HEALS sick and diseased bodies, and BAPTIZES with enough
HOLY GHOST POWER to enable the "BELIEVER" to live right and to walk in HOLINESS and TRUTH in this present wicked world.

Polls and surveys tell us that only about 2% of "CHRISTIANS" ever tell anybody else about the
the LORD JESUS CHRIST ! Most remain shut mouthed while the entire world around them marches of to HELL ! A Holy Ghost Baptism of POWER is the need of the HOUR ! ! !

(see Acts chapter 1& 2 and indeed the entire book of Acts)

There is a FULL gospel and there is a FOOL gospel. One is the TRUE GOSPEL, the other is FALSE, and soul damning. ( see 2 Peter chapter 2 and book of Jude )
One is REAL, the other a SHAM.

The FOOL gospel is IMPOTENT.
The FULL gospel is THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION !

Which do YOU believe ? ? ?
