are dealing with a time and a people who were in a unique situation. They had been
taught and bound by one law of God and being introduced to another law of God. None
of us, nor no one we come into contact with, is in the same circumstance. You cannot
compare this to the denominationalist who becomes a Christian because the doctrines of
denominationalism is not the law of God.
