Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quarterly Review of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 1854, Vol. 8 II. The scheme under consideration is a perverted as well as a defective one. In the third and fourth answer, as above given, there is certainly a misstatement of the efl'ect caused, and the consequences from the effects, if we are to judge the matter by the standard of St. Paul. There is here but little if any notice taken of the sinner's present justification before God. The effect caused is being born anew; and the conse quences are sanctification, and liberation from the inherent and penal consequences Of sin in the world to come, with all the means and processes of sanctification by the word and the spirit. But for the clause, liberation from the penal consequences of sin in the world to come, there is no recognition whatever of the guilt of sin. By sin, man is diseased and requires a spiritual healing, and the effect of redemption is to cause him to be born anew. That this is one Of the glorious effects of the redemption by Jesus Christ, we gladly admit; but we contend that this ddes not exhaust the redemptive act in te ference to man. There is another happy efl'ect resulting from the once Ofl'ering of the Son of God and one which precedes his being born again: We have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
