Remember, your laity sometimes tries to explain things and do things; it's best that you instruct them not to do it. And if somebody wants to know something, let them come to one of the--the ones that's instructed to do it. You see? Say, well, now, like somebody would say, "Hey, I tell... They tell me, you over at your church believe in eternal security." Now, you better watch. You'll probably get in a bigger mess than you ever was in (You see?) and make him worse off than ever. "Say, I tell you what, if you'll come over and ask our pastor. See? You--you go talk to him. See? We... That is true; I know our pastor believes that. I believe it also, but I'm not able to support... I'm not a preacher. I just believe it; that's all I know. I believe it because I've heard him explain it so out of the Bible, that it was beyond any shadow of doubt to me." See? But better let the--better let the laity speak to the pastor about that. And the pastor, be sure that he knows how to answer it too. So study it real good, 'cause a lot of times they'll tie you up in it. You see?
