About forty years ago in Shanghai there was a preacher who taught people that they cannot sin after they are saved. One day, this preacher and several young men who sat under his teach ing went to the city park in Shanghai. That park required the purchase of a ticket in order to be admitted. This man bought three or four tickets to be used by a total of five persons. How did he do this? Firstly, some of them entered the park with the tickets. Then one of them came out with the tickets and gave a ticket to one of the others. This continued until all five men had entered the park. In this sinful way that preacher brought his four young disciples through the gate of the park. As a result of this, one of the young men began to doubt the teaching of eradication. Even tually the young man went to the preacher and said, "Was that not a sin?" The preacher replied, "No, that was not a sin. That was just a little weak ness." Regardless of the terms we use, sin is sin. Although you may call it by another name, it re mains sin nonetheless. Never accept a teaching which says that we have become so spiritual and holy that it is impossible for us to sin. If we accept such a doctrine, we will be deceived, and the result will be misery.
