e the "wisdom of God,"
nor the "knowledge of God." It is true he will require much knowledge and
wisdom of the world, but of all the things necessary in furnishing the
church of God, not one of them is necessary in the building of a sect.

"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists;
and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the
work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." Eph.
4:10-12. "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over
which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God,
which he hath purchased with his own blood." Acts 20:28. "Now ye are the
body of Christ, and members in particular, and God hath set some in the
church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of
tongues." 1 Cor. 12:27, 28. "But now hath God set the members every one of
them in the body, as it hath pleased him." 1 Cor. 12:18.

With this as with all other subjects of this work we must be brief.

Who Receives Applicants Into This Church?

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a
Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord
Almighty." 2 Cor. 6:17, 18. "But now hath God set the members every one of
them in the body as it hath pleased him." 1 Cor. 12:18. "And the Lord
added to the church daily such as should be saved." Acts 2:47. "For by one
Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one
Spirit." 1 Cor. 12:13.

By these texts we can plainly see that it is God by the Spirit that
receives members into his church, therefore no sinner can enter there.

What Is The Door?

"I am the door: by me if any man enter in he shall be saved, and shall go
in and out, and find pasture." John 10:9. "I am the door of the sheep."
Ver. 7. "For through him [Jesus] we both have access by one Spirit unto
the Father." Eph. 2:18.

Jesus is the only entrance into the church of God. He that would climb up
some other way is a thief and a robber. John 10:1. We could get into a
human organized body without coming in through Christ, but not into the
divinely organized body.

"He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no
