It's my understanding that First-Order-Logic is complete, but that not all logical theories are complete (for example, Russel's Arithmetic) - both these results having been shown by Godel.

I'm trying to clarify my understanding of these facts. Can they be restated in the following terms? :

Suppose a conjunction $C_1$ of statements in First-Order-Logic 'forces' the statement $S_1$ to be true. In other words, in all models where $C_1$ are true, $S_1$ is true as well. In other words, $(C_1\ \&\ \neg S_1)$ is unsatisfiable.

Given the completeness of First-Order-Logic, we know :

$\vdash (C1 \rightarrow S1) $

In other words, $(C_1 \rightarrow S_1)$ is a logical tautology.

Given that not all logical theories are complete, the following may not necessarily be true :

$C_1 \vdash S_1$

Have I gotten this right?

Thanks!
