19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
From The Gospel Worthy of All Acceptation, by Andrew Fuller:
The truth is, there are but two ways for us to take: one is to reject them both [Calvinistic and Arminian texts], and the Bible with them, on account of its inconsistencies; the other is to embrace them both [Calvinistic and Arminian texts], concluding that, as they are both revealed in the Scriptures, they are both true, and both consistent, and that it is owing to the darkness of our understandings that they do not appear so to us. Those excellent lines of Dr. Watts, in his Hymn on Election, one should think, must approve themselves to every pious heart: --
But, O my soul, if truth so brightEnough said.........
Should dazzle and confound thy sight,
Yet still his written will obey,
And wait the great decisive day.
