1. That every regenerate man does not commit sin. "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin." -- 1 John 3:9. "He that committeth sin is of the devil." -- 1 John 3:8.

2. We teach that every Christian may love God perfectly" and is commanded to do so, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart."

3. We teach that we cannot love God with all the heart, while there is any pride, anger, malice or any other form of sin in the heart. All these are contrary to the nature of love, hence where these exist love to God cannot be perfect.

4. We teach that God has the power and willingness to take these evil affections out of the heart, so that our love may be perfect. "And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart." -- Deuteronomy 30:6.

5. We teach that the Holy Spirit comes into the heart thus cleansed and fills it with Himself, "Be filled with the Spirit."

6. We teach that the heart thus cleansed and filled, will grow in all the graces of the Spirit better than ever, because sin, the great hindrance to growth in grace, has been removed. All this remember is not absolute perfection but simply Christian perfection or perfect love. Paul says, "Now the end of the commandment is charity (love) out of a pure heart." As this is the end there can he nothing beyond the end. Who can make any objection to perfect love? People usually have to misrepresent our position before they attack.
