We seldom hear of them [gifts of the Holy Ghost] after the fatal period, when the emperor Constantine called himself a Christian: From this time they almost totally ceased: The cause of this was not, (as had been vulgarly supposed,) “because there was no more occasion for them,” because all of the world became Christian.… continued …

John WesleyJohn Wesley
This is a miserable mistake: not a twentieth part of it [the world] was then nominally Christian. The real cause was, “the love of many” almost of all Christians, so called, was “waxed cold”. The Christians had no more of the Spirit of Christ, than the other heathens. … continued …

John WesleyJohn Wesley
This was the real cause why extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost were no longer to be found in the Christian church; because the Christians were turned heathens again, and had only a dead form left.

The Great Historian, The Great Historian, MosheimMosheim The Christian church was scarcely
formed when in different places, there started up a certain pretended reformer, who not satisfied with the simplicity of that religion that was taught by the Apostles, meditated changes of doctrine and worship.(First Century, Chapter 5, Page 2)

MosheimMosheim
There is no institution so pure and excellent which the corruption and folly of man will not in time alter for the worse, and load with additions foreign to its natures and original designs. Such in a particular manner, was the fate of Christianity. In this century, many unnecessary rites and ceremonies …

Doctrinal changes should be offensive

MosheimMosheim
During this [seventh] century true religion lay buried under a senseless mass of superstitions, and was unable to raise her head. The earlier Christians had worshipped only God and His Son; but those called Christians in this century worshipped the wood of a cross, the images of holy men, and bones of dubious origin.Moshiem’s Ecclesiastical History, p. 250
