All the first cause arguments only attempt to show a first cause. 

All of them make clear that additional information about that first cause, e.g. that it must be the God of the Bible, are not included in the argument, and must be argued through other means. 

That's just how such arguments work.

Nonsense. Craig resurrected (pardon the pun) Kalam for the express purpose of proving God, and that the God involved is not only the God of the Bible, but the God of Craig’s particular flavour of Christianity. Look up his two theses.
