Fantastic video Tim! 👍 You really sold me on this, as you already know, but I wanted to leave a review as well. I've never really cared for the ESV, altho to be honest never really gave it a fair shake, partly due to the fact of no Deity pronoun capitalization plus not really fond of single column. But as being an AOG baptism & Pentecostal, this checked all the boxes for me plus it's double column so within 5 minutes of watching your video I don't know HOW many times, I ordered it! I also wasn't aware that you're a Pentecostal pastor, which probly explains why I'm drawn to your videos! Keep up the great work! You do an awesome job! 👏

I switched over to the ESV about six, maybe seven months ago. I have a personal sized one that I carry to church ect, but recently I've been looking for a good study Bible. I'm an Assembly of God person and wasn't interested in the Calvinist leaning one put out by Crossway. I'm definitely going to check this one out. Great review video.👍

I have the Fire Bible in the KJV and MEV, as well as the TN Life in the Spirit KJV. I fully enjoy them all. And yes, distinctly Pentecostal, not Charismatic. While the two share SOME commonalities, they're not the same. Pentecostals are firm in their doctrinal positions, whether that be on the Holiness wing or the Finished Work wing. The Fire Bible supports a broad array of Pentecostal doctrinal positions, and the commentary is excellent. I've given out the MEV Fire Bible Student Edition to youth in my local church, and turned several onto the Fire Bible, as well as the Life in the Spirit. There are few Pentecostal resources so we need as much as we can get! Great overview!

I'm a missionary with Foursquare and I absolutely love this Bible! In fact, I love it so much I have been convincing others to buy it as well. I really love they have it available in numerous different languages too because I have purchased several copies in Tagalog for my workers here in the Philippines. My only complaint is I don't love the ESV. I'm really hoping that one day they can come out with a CSB edition of it.

Do you happen to know if the student versions had all the exact same content or do they leave out certain things?

I think the notes may be slightly condensed and the student versions add some tools for public school students to reach their school. The student versions were published by Gospel Publishing House and are long out of print. Hendrickson has their version but I’m completely unfamiliar with those.

I member when I was living and working at Teen Challenge in Israel back in the early nineties and we were sent a box of Full Life Study Bibles. They were great, although coming from the UK I was intrigued that it contained two articles (one in the OT and one in the NT) essentially prohibiting the drinking of alcohol. I realised that this might be an American Pentecostal distinctive. I now have the KJV Life in the Sprit hardback.

Passio does the Spiritual Warfare Bible. It may be possible these study notes were in the MEV which is a Passio publication. Passio is from Charisma Magazine. They are more on the charismatic scale than Pentecostals are.

I would suggest looking up pastor Steve Waldron on the YT. He has some great videos about what Pentecostals believe, the differences between charismatic and Pentecostal, AOG versus apostolic etc. He is a onenss Pentecostal, but he has some very informative non-biased videos about pretty much anything to do with Christianity but especially about Pentecostalism. He also does some really great Bible reviews.
