 Our Lord sent His disciples out as sheep among wolves; now the wolves are being invited into the sheepfold. Author: Vance Havner |
| It is possible to fraternize with unbelievers until false doctrine becomes less and less objectionable. Author: Vance Havner |
| The testimony of scripture is so plain that to add anything were superfluous, were it not that the world is almost now come to that blindness, that whatsoever pleases not the princes and the multitude, the same is rejected as doctrine newly forged, and is condemned for heresy. Author: John Knox |
| Tragically, some people believe they are going to heaven when they die just because a few drops of water were sprinkled over their heads a few weeks after their birth. They have no personal faith, have never made a personal decision, and are banking on a hollow ceremony to save them. How absurd. Author: Max Lucado |

| Universalism, fashionable as it is today, is incompatible with the teaching of Christ and His apostles, and is a deadly enemy of evangelism. The true universalism of the Bible is the call to universal evangelism in obedience to Christ's universal commission. It is the conviction that not all men will be saved in the end, but that all men must hear the gospel of salvation before the end. Author: John Stott |
| For years, I helped propagate an impostor, not a true gospel, but another gospel. I Was Wrong. Author: Jim Bakker |
| Failure to see Jesus Christ as the final revelation of truth is a major error that will open the door of the church to a multitude of heresies, taught in the name of truth. Every true movement initiated by the Spirit of God leads men back to the words of Christ which were inscripturated by His own inspiration. Author: Walter J. Chantry
