By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven.

If this is what we mean when we advise the seeker to accept Christ, we had better explain it to him. He may get into deep spiritual trouble unless we do. Aiden Wilson Tozer rejection spiritual mean To square the records, however, it should be said that if the Calvinist does not rise as high, he usually stays up longer.
