Quotes on “Grace Covers All”

“John Calvin ought not to be classed in the same list with Buddha, Mohammed, or Joseph Smith. You can learn a lot from him. On some things we see a bit farther than he, but that is because we have several centuries of scholarship behind us which he did not have. I would not be surprised to see him in Heaven - a fellow sinner saved by grace.” – [Charles Wheeler; preacher for the church of Christ in Cherry Tree, PA; Wed Mar 6, 2002; “Berean Spirit Study List” http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BereanSpirit/message/48700]

"...Let's not limit the kingdom of God to the size of our brotherhood... this is what I heard... the only people that could go to heaven were in churches of Christ... I'm going to suggest to you not only is that not Biblical, but it is in fact a violation of the very restoration plea to which we are heirs...when I accept someone who has believed and repented and been born again of water and the Spirit that does not necessarily mean I endorse everything he says or does. And let me say this clearly, I have brothers and sisters in Christ who may be in churches where I couldn't worship... But if grace will cover moral error, why are we so afraid to let it cover doctrinal error?..."
[Rick Atchley; sermon entitled "Don't Bother Your Brother"; preached at Richland Hills Church of Christ, Ft. Worth, TX; on 10/14/90.]

"God loves my neighbor and makes him my brother" [Max Lucado; “In the Grip of Grace”; page 160]
