There Is More Of Power To Sanctify,

There Is No Form Of Conviction More Intimate And Irresistible Than That Which Arises From The Inward Teaching Of The Spirit.

The Independent Or Congregational Theory Includes Two Principles; First, That The Governing And Executive Power In The Church Is In The Brotherhood; And Secondly, That The Church Organization Is Complete In Each Worshipping Assembly, Which Is Independent Of Every Other.

No More Soul-destroying Doctrine Could Well Be Devised Than The Doctrine That Sinners Can Regenerate Themselves, And Repent And Believe Just When They Please...as It Is A Truth Both Of Scripture And Of Experience That The Unrenewed Man Can Do Nothing Of Himself To Secure His Salvation, It Is Essential That He Should Be Brought To Practical Conviction Of That Truth. When Thus Convinced, And Not Before, He Seeks Help From The Only Source Whence It Can Be Obtained.

It Is A Thoroughly Anti-christian Doctrine That The Spirit Of God, And Therefore The Life And Governing Power Of The Church, Resides In The Ministry, To The Exclusion Of The People.

When The Great Promise Of The Spirit Was Fulfilled On The Day Of Pentecost, It Was Fulfilled Not In Reference To The Apostles Only.
