R T Kendall on Balance in Doctrine and Experience
"If it is true that if our doctrine of salvation is not accused or being antinomian, it is likely we have not really preached justification, then I think it is also true that if our doctrine of the immediate witness of the Spirit is not accused of being charismatic, we probably have not really held to a robust doctrine of the Spirit".
Dr R T Kendall - "John Cotton - First English Calvinist?" - in "Puritan Experiment in the New World" - Westminster Conference Papers - (1976).
