Who Said That?
"In conformity, therefore, both to the doctrine of St. John, and the whole tenor of the New Testament, we fix this conclusion: A Christian is so far perfect as not to commit sin.
This is the glorious privilege of every Christian . . . though he be a babe in Christ. But it is of only grown Christians it can be affirmed they are in such a sense perfect, as, secondly, to be freed from evil thoughts and evil tempers."
Please, no google searches or other forms of cheating. You must guess who said this! Leave your answers in the comments section. I'll let you know who this is in a couple of days.
As many of you correctly guessed, this is John Wesley, from A Plain Account of Christian Perfection (London: The Epworth Press, 1976), 42.
