Take-aways:
Just five foot three
Post-millennial
He thought the early church erred in condemning outright Montanus and his teaching
Entire sanctification (ET) is ultimately a gift, like justification.
Holy love
‘Holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord’ refers to ET.
No purgatory, but ET necessary to enter heaven. Most believers experience at or near moment of death.
‘He who is born of God does not commit sin’ – he took very literally. He emphasized personal holiness. He was ever concerned about an antinomian attitude infecting the minds and hearts of believers.
Quite nuanced in his thinking – ‘degree to which’, ‘in a certain sense’, etc.
Agreed with Calvin regarding the Lord’s Supper.
Toward the end of his life, he wrote of a passing anxiety regarding his experience after death, not that he would be condemned, but that there would be nothing, nothing at all.
