I went to the place where they were and opened before them the nature of their work. The Lord gave me strength to lay plainly before them their danger. Among other views they held that those who were once sanctified could not sin. Their false teaching was working great harm to themselves and to others. They were gaining a spiritualistic power over those who could not see the evil of these beautifully clothed theories. The doctrine that all were holy had led to the belief that the affections of the sanctified would never lead astray. The result of this belief was the fulfillment of the evil desires of hearts that, though professedly sanctified, were far from purity of thought and life. {8T 293.1} Ungodly teaching is followed by sinful practice. It is the seducing bait of the father of lies, and results in the impenitence of self-satisfied impurity. {8T 293.2}

Jeg rejste til et sted, hvor de opholdt sig og åbenbarede deres arbejdes karakter for dem. Herren gav mig styrke til klart at fremstille deres fare for dem. Blandt andet påstod de, at den, der een gang var helliggjort, ikke kunne synde mere. Deres falske lære var til stor skade for dem selv og andre. De var lige ved at få spiritistisk herredømme over nogle, som ikke kunne se det onde i disse smukt klædte teorier. Det doktrin, at alle var hellige, havde førte til den opfattelse, at de helliggjortes kærlighed aldrig ville lede dem på vildspor. Følgen af denne opfattelse var, at hjertets onde lyster blev opfyldt; og selvom hjertet skulle være helliggjort ifølge bekendelsen, var det langt fra tankens og livets renhed. Ugudelig lære bliver efterfulgt af syndig praksis. Den er et forførende lokkemiddel fra løgnens fader og fører til ubodfærdighed i selvtilfreds urenhed.
