Do Protestants Have the “Fullness of the Faith”?

25 min

“Insofar as we have the word of God, and the holy gospel, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, we have that fullness of the faith that we’re called to grow in.

And we grow in it as we grow in a deeper understanding of the word of God, what the Bible teaches, and a closer relationship to Jesus.”
– Pastor Adriel Sanchez
