“The gospel is thus efficacious to everyone, without distinction between Jew and Gentile; and to everyone that believeth, not who is circumcised, or who obeys the law, or who does this or that, or any other thing, but who believes, i. e. receives and confides in Jesus Christ in all the characters, and for all the purposes in which he is represented in the gospel.” (William S. Plumer 1802-1880)
