Leonard Ravenhill on the Affirmation Statement

Well, not exactly, but it is similar. It is attributed to JB Phillips

We pause here to get a refreshing and profitable view of the early church as it is portrayed by Dr. J B Phillips. As I remember it, he said that the Book of Acts describes the Church of Jesus Christ before it became fat and out of breath by prosperity, and muscle-bound by over-organization. This was the church where people were not forced to sign articles of faith, instead they acted in faith. Here was the place where worshipers did not "say" prayers, they prayed in the Holy Ghost. His final slam is not less biting. These folk did not gather together a group of intellectuals to study psychosomatic medicine, they simply healed the sick!
