The Active Christian: Series of Lectures (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Active Christian: Series of Lectures

Some will doubtless accuse the author of att tributing too much to human means, and will re present him as a new light divine in the tist Church in old England but he ought to be. Regarded as more Calvinistic and scriptural in his sentiments than most of the persons who will accuse him. When Paul apologizes for having spoken of saving some, and of having be gotten men' through the truth; and when Paul and Peter are convicted of heresy for not explicitly referring to the agency of the Spirit in every instance in which they speak of one per son's converting and saving another, then we shall be disposed to censure our author as an Arminian. That he does not teach the efficiency of God in doing those actions for men which the Saviour says proceed out of their own hearts, and beyond which we need not look for a cause, we joyfully proclaim. Of a physical regenera tion, and of moral agency by machinery, he is not an advocate.
