There is plenty missing, since he advertises for the "complete series," meaning this video isn't complete. Also, he contradicts himself in a way (that is, lack of clarity on the details) by first saying that we are complete and lacking nothing, and then says that salvation is progressive - can't have both. Either we are complete as is, or progressing toward completeness.
What he got right is:
1. salvation is the free gift of God, simply by believing in Christ and His work.
2. salvation has past, present, and future elements to it.
I disagree with his statement that salvation is for everyone. Since the Bible is clear that a minority will be saved, and that most people either cannot or will not accept the gospel, I think the Bible teaches that salvation is not for everyone. For sure, it is for
anyone (whoever believes, whether he be Jew or Gentile, etc.), but not for
everyone. 1 John 2:2 says that Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world - on the surface (out of context) it
looks like it is saying that Christ has redeemed all of mankind. But we have to compare with other scriptures that differ in appearance, such as Rev. 5:9 that states Christ purchased a subset of mankind. These scriptures must be reconciled for correct interpretation, since they are both God's word. Therefore 1 Jn. 2:2 has to mean either Christ's propitiation
potentially covers all mankind, or "whole world" means all nations, not just Jews.
What else is missing:
1. The true condition of man apart from Christ - this is the doctrine of Original Sin, or Total Depravity. A person cannot deliver himself, that is, a person is not able to believe the gospel he hears, unless he is enlightened by the Spirit (1 Cor. 2). People need to hear the truth about their true spiritual condition, that it is completely hopeless unless they have the ultimate Savior. If they think they can muster up something for God, namely right decisions or even right believing, they won't think they need a Savior.
2. What is complete in the believer is justification, which is a condition of peace with God. Once a person enters the New Covenant relationship with God by believing the gospel of Christ, justification is a done deal, a past event. Nothing progressive about it. We have been saved from the second death which is the lake of fire, nothing progressive about that. We have been saved from the wrath of God, nothing progressive about that.
3. What is progressive (incomplete) is our spiritual maturity, or sanctification. This condition also has past, present, and future elements. The NT attests that we have been sanctified (past tense) in our identity as saints. We are being sanctified (present tense) in a progressive changing into the image of Christ and partaking of divine nature (that is, drawing from it). We will be sanctified fully in our resurrection and glorification. Transformation and renewing of mind is progressive.
This is not an exhaustive list.
