"These are our general rules. We have several thousand regulations
covering every phase or avenue of life."
"What I have just now heard are certainly not as iron-clad as the rules
of my church. Nothing is said of conversion, or spirituality, or of
the Holy Spirit, or of the other Persons of the Trinity," commented
Miss Church-Member.
"No, not of anything that is antiquated or, in other words, `out of
date.' The main church on earth must deal with practical things."
"What do you call `conversion' in your church, or do you not believe
in it?"
"Beyond any doubt we believe in conversion. Just as soon as a person
confesses his faith in our general rules he is converted, and is at
once a good Christian. The Bible says that if one will only believe
he is safe: or `saved already' as the true Greek rendering has it."
"Then you hold to the Bible strictly?"
"We are the only church that does really and truly hold to the Bible.
We believe and teach it as it is preserved for the ages in the original
Hebrew and Greek."
"But I notice that many of your rules seem to be at variance with
certain parts of the Bible," she boldly declared.
