• You can leave the Church, but you can’t leave it alone. The basic reason for this is simple. Once someone has received a witness of the Spirit and accepted it, he leaves neutral ground.

And absolutely nowhere does Christ act as if any of these things are part of the eternal work or purposes of God.

  David Bentley Hart
