“Contending earnestly for the faith, is, therefore, an imperative and all-important Christian duty. ‘Stand fast in one spirit with one mind, striving together (wrestling together) for the faith of the Gospel, and in nothing terrified by your adversaries.’ ‘Why halt ye between two opinions?’ When God’s truth is at stake, neutrality must be criminal, and indifference to the truth is, of all others, the enemy most to be dreaded.” — Thomas Smyth, The Necessity and Importance of Controversy (1853)
