which is eternal life. - Harvard Rules and
Precepts, 1646 Quest for Pure Christianity, CH

The doors of the churches of Christ upon earth
do not by Gods appointment stand so wide open,
that all sorts of people good or bad, may freely
enter therein at their pleasure. Those seeking
admission, they declared, must be examined and
tried first to see that they possess, above all
else, repentance from sin and faith in Jesus
Christ. -Cambridge Platform, 1649 Shelley,
Church History in Plain Language, p.343
