Here is my understanding of the difference. Hope it helps.
Show ip bgp shows you the "potential routes". This is showing you the
routes that are in the BGP "forwarding table". This is what BGP knows about
(sometime referred to as RIB). These are the potential routes to be
injected into your routing table (show ip route bgp).
Your routing decision will be made from what you know in your "routing
table" - the one you can view by "Show ip route bgp" command.
Hope this helps (and not confuse you more). :)
