To John Bennet June 1744. You are in great danger of running from one extreme to the other, from Calvinism to Pelagianism. If the Bible be true, then none is a Christian who has not the marks of a Christian there laid down. One of these is the love of God, which must be felt (if it is in the soul) as much as fire upon the body. Another is the witness of God's Spirit with my spirit that I am a child of God. Till I have these marks I am not a Christian; and no power can give me these but that which made the world. It is God alone who worketh in me both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Faith is seeing God; love is feeling God. You may order your affairs so as to ride with me to London to our Conference. Then we can clear these things up more fully. Mercy and truth be with you.
