From Dr. Howell Again

Robert Boyte Crawford Howell

1801-1868

In “Perseverance of the Saints” by Dr. R. B. C. Howell in his book titled "The Way of Salvation" Howell wrote (as cited by Dr. Nettles here).

"the indubitable evidence of a man’s ‘faith in regeneration’ is, not alone that he has been excited, and experienced fears and sorrows, and confidence and raptures; nor that he does many righteous acts, and is lauded as imminently devoted; but it is that he sustains the tests to which he is subjected in the Christian profession."

Oh how our Hardshell brothers need to heed this advice! I need it too.
