Without the Holy Spirit, God is distant, Christ is in the past, the Gospel is a dead letter, the Church is simple organization, authority is domination, mission is propaganda, worship is the summoning of spirits, and Christian action is the morality of slaves.
若沒有聖靈,神很遙遠、基督屬過去、 福音只是書信、教會單單是組織、 權威是壓迫、宣教是宣傳、崇拜是聚集、 基督徒的行為只不過是道德的束縛。
— Quoted in 『He Who Gives Life: The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit』by Graham A. Cole
