No one can occupy a neutral position; there is no middle class, who neither love God nor serve the enemy of righteousness. Christ is to live in His human agents and work through their faculties and act through their capabilities. Their will must be submitted to His will; they must act with His Spirit. Then it is no more they that live, but Christ that lives in them. He who does not give himself wholly to God is under the control of another power, listening to another voice, whose suggestions are of an entirely different character. Half-and-half service places the human agent on the side of the enemy as a successful ally of the hosts of darkness. When men who claim to be soldiers of Christ engage with the confederacy of Satan, and help along his side, they prove themselves enemies of Christ. They betray sacred trusts. They form a link between Satan and the true soldiers, so that through these agencies the enemy is constantly working to steal away the hearts of Christ's soldiers.

Ingen kan stille sig neutral; der gives ingen mellemklasse, der hverken elsker Gud eller tjener retfærdigheds fjende. Kristus skal leve i sine menneskelige redskaber, virke gennem deres evner og handle gennem deres kræfter. Deres vilje må være hans vilje underlagt; de må handle i hans ånd. Da er det ikke længere dem, der lever, men Kristus lever i dem. Den, der ikke overgiver sig helt til Gud, beherskes af en anden magt og lytter til en anden stemme, hvis tale er af en ganske anden art. Halv tjeneste stiller vedkommende på fjendens side som en dygtig medhjælper for mørkets hær skarer. Når mennesker, som giver sig ud for at være Kristi stridsmænd, slutter sig til den ondes forbund og hjælper til på hans side, optræder de selv som Kristi fjender. De svigter et helligt hverv. De danner et led mellem Djævelen og de sande stridsmænd, således at fjenden til stadighed virker gennem disse redskaber for at stjæle Kristi stridsmænds hjerter.
