Full Gospel>Gospel???

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Where along the line did churches pick up the "full gospel" expression?

According to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, the gospel is the death, burial, resurrection of Christ. So if this is the case, how did others come about later and include the life, ministry, and return of the Lord to be included in this?

Great question for some to ponder upon!

Unless a seed falls to the ground and die, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. The process of the gospel taking place within us...all paths that come from heaven lead back to heaven.

The expression "full gospel" was coined to explain that the preaching of the gospel needed the involvement of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit to complete it. The New Testament records that Paul went around preaching the gospel with signs and wonders, in that he included healing and casting out of demons in his preaching. Philip preached the gospel to the Samaritans with signs and wonders, and when the Samaritans saw the signs and wonders, they gave more attention to his teaching. Paul taught that the gospel was not just in word, but in power. So Pentecostals described the preaching of the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit as the "full gospel" in contrast to just giving religious words and quoting Scriptures alone.

I haven't heard the phrasing "full gospel" as a standard phrase, but indeed those verses touch on the most central elements of the Good News, though they don't touch all, or else Paul would not have felt a need to write Romans. If these parts were all, we'd not need Hebrews, nor would Christ have said more for us so that you and I would listen to Him and learn more.

He spoke several things to you and me, so that we would listen and hear.

Paul said...I know nothing but Christ crucified.
Christ is risen...

Full-Gospel, a term used to denote how very unlikely the condition of conversation will not be engaged in Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, such as happened to me from a Gospel-extracting ‘Pastor’ responding to NT gifts in today's Church,

“We believe those things are from the devil”​

The full gospel of salvation is a Pentecostal doctrine which came into use
(from memory) in the 1910s.
The great divine healing and Pentecostal revivals beginning from the 1880s
in Britain and then through Smith Wigglesworth and his ministry.
And coming to life dramatically in the 1906 Azusa Street Pentecostal experience
[William Seymour] and later John G. Lake in Washington state.

Pentecostal preachers started using the phrase the full gospel of salvation
1: to acknowledge all of the scriptures pertaining to salvation and the baptisms
of water and the Holy Spirit. No omissions No deletions
2: to distinguish the original Apostolic gospel written down in Acts and the epistles
from the gospels as truncated or abridged by churches with sections of doctrines being denied.

We in the Revival Fellowship still talk of the full gospel of salvation -

 

[Spirit of Pentecost]

As many here have said, the term Full Gospel was coined to define a church or pastor whose teachings and beliefs accepted the validity of the gifts of the Spirit operating in the modern Church.

All Pentecostal and Charismatic churches are Full Gospel by default. At the same time, there are Full Gospel Baptists and Full Gospel Methodists, too. While the core beliefs among these churches will certainly vary, they will share some fundamentals on the moving and infilling of the Spirit.

Some Pentecostals, however, tend to be more specific in what they may refer to themselves as, because some consider labels like Full Gospel and Pentecostal too vague. Pentecostal is definitely umbrella, leading some to prefer terms like Apostolic (Oneness Pentecostals), while some may use Holiness to place a stronger emphasis on inward and outward of a believer.
