Conversion Does Not Create New Faculties—The Spirit of God does not create new faculties in the converted man but works a decided change in the employment of those faculties. When mind and heart and soul are changed, man is not given a new conscience, but his will is submitted to a conscience renewed, a conscience whose dormant sensibilities are aroused by the working of the Holy Spirit.—Lt 44, 1899. (HC 104.) {2MCP 692.3}

Omvendelse skaber ingen nye evner — Guds ånd skaber ingen nye evner i det omvendte menneske, men skaber en stor forandring i benyttelsen og brugen af de allerede bestående evner. Når sind, hjerte og sjæl er forandret, bliver mennesket ikke givet en ny samvittighed, men hans vilje bliver underlagt en fornyet samvittighed, en samvittighed hvis sovende sanser er vækket ved Helligåndens arbejde. — Brev 44, 1899. (HC 104.)
