1. Those who do not possess Christian faith are either: (1) heretics or (2) infidels. Heretics are those who reject some one or more of the truths revealed by God. Rationalists or unbelievers are those who will not believe anything unless they can either perceive it with their senses, or comprehend it with their understanding. 2. Faith is for the most part lost either: (1), By indifference to the doctrines of faith; (2), By wilful doubt respecting the truths of faith; (3), By reading books or other literature that is hostile to the faith; (4), By frequenting the assemblies of those who are hostile to the faith; (5), By neglecting the practice of one's religion. 3. All men who through their own fault die without Christian faith are, by the just judgment of God, sentenced to eternal perdition.
