Fancy Paul going to be brought out of heaven after being there for eighteen hundred years, to be judged, to see if he were fit for to be there! There is nothing so absurd as the thought of a future judgment to settle my case. It is too late to judge if a man is fit for heaven when he is raised in the likeness of Christ!
That which tested the heart of man, unlocked the heart of God!
People say— “Ought there not be elders in the church?” I reply “show me the church of God? Where is it?” You get directions for tongues, too, as well as elders; but that does not say they are to be set up. You must find me the church of God first; then we can talk of elders.
A man is always under law, when he refers his acceptance, to his own state of soul.
