A PREVALENT ERROR

The" Error likes a high throne." There is one error, unless God does a wonderful work, one tremendous error, that I am afraid is going to ruin Methodism in America, — the Plymouth doctrine of imputed salvation.

I am no alarmist, but a dumb creature can see a thunderstorm coming; and the doctrine of our depravity as covered over with the righteousness of Jesus, is spreading like wild-fire in this country. A sermon on sanctification is not relished; why is it?

There are evangelists going around teaching that you are sanctified in Christ; that God never does make you holy in your heart; and there are great camp grounds where men are allowed to hold a week's Bible reading before thousands, where the doctrines as preached by Wesley are boldly denounced. One says, "You never can be free from depravity till you die"; that is taught all over the land.

The doctrine that you are "covered over" by Christ's" holiness" is the devil's bait to ruin the Methodist Church. Thank God we have some who are straight on this subject; but there are others who will accept anything else. One teaches, "Sanctification is received at conversion"; the other, "When we die"; another, "It comes by growth"; and another, "We are sanctified in Christ, with our depravity covered over."

I have known men to accept three or four views of sanctification at the same time; but when God says that He will turn us from "darkness to light" it means a great deal, and this is no day to trifle. God could not bless error if an angel should preach it.

(from "Love Abounding" by G.D. Watson)
