“In these days of boasted liberality, it may appear captious to oppose with zeal the errors of men who have acquired a name in the Christian world. The mantle of charity, it will be said, ought to be thrown over mistakes that have resulted from a free and impartial investigation of truth, and if not wholly overlooked, they should be noticed with a slight expression of disapprobation. Such, however, was not the conduct of the Apostle Paul. He spared neither churches nor individuals, when the doctrines they maintained tended to the subversion of the gospel; and the zeal with which he resisted their errors was not inferior to that with which he encountered the open enemies of Christianity.”
Robert Haldane, Exposition of the Epistle to the Romans (Volume I, New Edition Much Enlarged, Edinburgh: William Whyte & Co., 1842), p. 14
