The Gospel Is So Simple

Our Duty, Privilege, And Security Are In Believing, Not In Knowing; In Trusting God, And Not Our Own Understanding. They Are To Be Pitied Who Have No More Trustworthy Teacher Than Themselves.

The Popish Theory, Which Assumes That Christ, The Apostles And Believers, Constituted The Church While Our Saviour Was On Earth, And This Organization Was Designed To Be Perpetual.

The Functions Of These Elders, Therefore, Determine The Power Of The People; For A Representative Is One Chosen By Others To Do In Their Name What They Are Entitled To Do In Their Own Persons; Or Rather To Exercise The Powers Which Radically Inhere In Those For Whom They Act.

This Is True Religion, To Approve What God Approves, To Hate What He Hates, And To Delight In What Delights Him

That The Apostolic Office Is Temporary, Is A Plain Historical Fact.
