"We are accustomed to by long usage to an elaborate system of church organization , a peculiar code of morality. We cannot imagine any Christianity worthy of the name existing without the elaborate machinery which we have invented. We naturally expect our converts to adopt from us not only essentials but accidentals. We desire not to impart not only the Gospel, but Law and the Customs. With that spirit, St. Paul's methods do not agree, because they were the natural outcome of quite another spirit, the spirit which preferred persuasion to authority. St. Paul distrusted elaborate systems of religious ceremonial, and grasped fundamental principles with an unhesitating faith in the power of the Holy Ghost to apply them to his hearers and to workout their appropriate external expression in them. It was inevitable that methods which were the natural outcome of the mind of St. Paul should appear as DANGEROUS to us as they appeared to the Jewish Christians of his own day." - Man before his times Roland Allen - Missionary Methods: St Pauls or ours - 1912
