Had I inserted it the entire article would have been besmirched with inconsistency as to what I believe and teach on the plan of salvation. It will be seen in this article that if sincerity will save, then no other condition or quality on the part of man is necessary for salvation. In one of the sessions a member of the class asked this spokesman if he believed the members of the denominations would be saved. We are not told of any degrees or limitations in the authority of Jesus as king and ruler of his church. A man will not be excused in failing to pay his taxes to civil government, even though he pleads that he was not aware of such responsibility.
Sufficient provision is made for all citizens to learn of their duty.
Likewise in the kingdom of Christ, all human beings have been offered a full copy of the laws governing it, and a failure to become informed about them is at their own risk. And yet the deceived man is sincere as to the point on which he is being deceived. The man who is conscious of his error cannot be sincere for he is not being deceived. He is deliberately accepting what he is doing for some motive other than deception for he knows better. Yet the Lord warns them against being deceived which proves that they are in danger and not in line for being saved.
