What Would Charles Spurgeon Say?
Do you ever wonder how certain godly saints of the past would react to life, thought, practice, and in particular Christianity, today? Well here is an excerpt from an excerpt of an excellent Charles Spurgeon sermon that might shed some light on such a question:

We are often told by some ministers in their drawing rooms, that God will not ask in the day of judgment what a man believed, for if his life has been correct, it will not much matter what doctrines he held.
I am at a loss for the authority on which they base such laxness. I wonder who told them that was the truth. I have read my Bible through, and I have never found a text that could absolve my judgment from its allegiance to my Maker.
I hold, that to believe wrongly is equally as great a sin in the sight of heaven as to act wrongly. Error is a crime before God, and though there is liberty of conscience, so far as man and man are concerned, there is no liberty of conscience with God. You are not free to believe truth, or to believe error just as you like. You are bound to believe what God says is truth, and on your soul's peril be it, that you believe two things that are contrary, or confound the positive and the negative, where faith is the evidence of justification, and unbelief the seal of a sinner's doom.

Hey it was good seeing you sunday. Are you planning on auditing any of jon's classes in the fall? it'd be cool to see you there...
God bless
Interesting... I always appreciate Spurgeon's insightful narratives. Perhaps we all should be more careful when choosing to stand on a doctrinal position. I know I am guilty of taking a hasty stand on a position that I later found to be heretical. Thank you for the kind reminder.
