5.8: Restored end-time apostles and hidden truths
From Sovereign Grace and the Scope of Election: A Comparative Examination of Attainment Theology and Grace Theology, with Particular Attention to the Question of Whether God's Elect Are Found Among All Nations and Religions
"The faith... was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 3), once for all. The church is "built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets" (Ephesians 2:20); a foundation is laid once, not re-laid in the twentieth century. Paul pronounced a double anathema on any man or angel preaching another gospel (Galatians 1:8-9). Any system whose distinctive doctrines (tiered heaven, Zion-for-workers) confessedly cannot be found in the apostles' plain teaching, and rest on latter-day revelation to its own clergy, stands self-condemned by the standard it claims to honor.
