1. Those that I call the Saints of God, or Sheep of Christ, are those who are elected or chosen in Jesus Christ unto Salvation.
2. And such who are elected, are they who are redeemed and purchased by the Blood of Christ, or those whom he died for, or in the stead of.
3. By the Saints, I mean, those who are effectually called, regenerated, justified, sanctified, and adopted; these are the Sheep of Christ that shall never perish, but have Everlasting Life. They are not all such that are of his Fold or Church on Earth, not all the Members of the visible Church, but all the Members of the invisible Church, or mystical Body of Christ.
