True salvation always produces an abiding change of nature in a true convert. Therefore, whenever holiness of life does not accompany a confession of conversion, it must be understood that this individual is not a Christian.

He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.
