Stop it with this "slippery slope" stuff. Either something is right or it's wrong. If something is not the "Complete gospel", as you put it, then it's a damnable heresy, right? If it's anything short of what we need for redemption, it's not truth, correct? If DA's "Greasy Grace" isn't everything, and he's presenting it as everything, then it's a damnable heresy.
So stop playing both sides of the fence and say it like it is.

It's those who are quick to make qualifications and put an astricks around grace that concern me. They confuse discipleship and sanctification with Gods work in salvation.
I've learned that true believing isn't cognitive reasoning but Spirit directed, heart level regeneration. Literal new birth. Believing is so discounted by works-obsessed Christians.
