18. Verily I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
18. I tell you that my Church on earth is the Seminary or Suburbs of my Church in heaven, and those that you as my Ministers absolve according to my word, they being not deceitful, but true professors of faith, and repentance, they shall be absolved in heaven; And those that you bind over as impenitent to my judgment, being such indeed, shall be condemned and shut out of heaven: and I will own and confirm your judgment of men by the power I give you, if you do it according to my word.
N. God giveth Pastors power to condemn and cast out none from heaven, nor to save any, but only such as condemn and cast out themselves, or such as save themselves by faith, more than the Church can do.
19. Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on earth, as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
