Without Divisions

"Father Abraham," cried Whitefield. "Whom have you in Heaven? Any Episcopalians?"
"No!"
"Any Presbyterians?"
"No!"
"Any Independents or Seceders, New Sides or Old Sides, any Methodists?"
"No! No! No!"
"Whom do you have there, then, Father Abraham?"
"We don't know those names here! All who are here are Christians–believers in Christ, men who have overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of his testimony."
"Oh is this the case?" Then God help me, God help us all, to forget having names and to become Christians in deed and in truth."

George Whitefield and the Great Awakening, John Pollock, p118
