Once God was not in all our thoughts, but now our thoughts are sanctified, and sweetened by a sense of his presence; and we find our greatest joy in feeling that he is all around us and within us, that in him we live and move and have our being.
–Charles Spurgeon–

That being said, here’s the most exhaustive treatment on the Wesleyan-Arminian side about conditional security:

That being said, here’s the most influential treatment on the Wesleyan-Pentecostal side about miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit:

I am what I create
Believing in my fate
Integrity is my name
All that I am doing
Can never be ruined
My soul remains insane

Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
For an eye
For an eye

Got to watch my back
Got to let my heart
Believe one day I’ll fly
To reunite the tribe
To find a better way
Envy changes everything

Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
For an eye
For an eye

That’s right

I hit the bottom
You don’t understand
Pain, hate, pain
To be born again
Arise again
I believe is the only way

Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
For an eye
For an eye

If you do evil, be afraid;
for he does not bear the sword in vain;
for he is God’s minister,
an avenger to execute wrath
on him who practices evil.
–Romans 13:4 (NKJV)–

A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.
–Ecclesiastes 3:8 (NKJV)–

You BROOD of VIPERS! 
Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
–John the Baptist in Matthew 3:7 (NIV)–

YOU STIFF-NECKED PEOPLE! 
Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised.
You are just like your ancestors:
You ALWAYS resist the Holy Spirit!
–Stephen in Acts 7:51 (NIV)–

May your money PERISH with you,
because you thought you could
buy the gift of God with money!
–Peter in Acts 8:20 (NIV)–

You are a CHILD of the DEVIL 
and an enemy of everything that is right!
–Paul in Acts 13:10 (NIV)–

Because you are lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot,
I will VOMIT YOU out of My mouth!
–Jesus Christ in Revelation 3:16 (NKJV)–

There is anger which is not sinful; for anger is found in God himself, in Jesus Christ, in the holy angels, and in God’s people; and a man may be said to be angry and not sin, when his anger arises from a true zeal for God…when a man is displeased with…all false doctrine.

STRONG PREACHING ON
THE ATONING SACRIFICE OF THE CROSS.
–J.B.–

In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth
That’s what the Word of God says
On the very first page

But then I went to school
And the science teacher taught me
That the world was formed by itself
Over millions of years

And so the animals began to come about
From different kinds of animals that came before
And starfish turned into dogs and cats
Hedgehogs and monkeys turned into people

The teacher showed us a painting all about it
And that means that it’s the truth
Because dinosaur fossils were found in the ground
That means the world is billions of years old

I was told not to believe in God
And the Bible’s just a fairy tale
That the paintings in my science class were true
And that people are just really smart monkeys

The paintings in my biology book
The pictures in my geology book
The verses in Genesis chapter 1
Some people said to just mix ’em all together

–“Millions of Bones and Years”–

God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
–Genesis 1:24-26 (NIV)–

MOSES WAS EDUCATED in all the wisdom of the Egyptians 
and was powerful in speech and action.
–Acts 7:22 (NIV)–

Casting down imaginations,
and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God.
–2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)–

Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: which some professing have erred concerning the faith.
–1 Timothy 6:20-21 (KJV)–

The fool says in his heart,
    “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
    there is no one who does good.
–Psalm 14:1 (NIV)–

¹⁸ The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, ¹⁹ since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. ²⁰ For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. ²¹ For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²² Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ²³ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
–Romans 1:18-23 (NIV)–

I use that trust to effectively brainwash them…our teaching methods are primarily those of propaganda. We appeal–without demonstration–to evidence that supports our position. We only introduce arguments and evidence that supports the currently accepted theories and omit or gloss over any evidence to the contrary.
–Dr. Mark Singham, Evolutionist Physics Professor–

Evolution is not a proven fact. All scientists know it is not a proven fact. Some may think it is a fact, but they do not think it is proven. They may have an opinion, but they cannot prove it is true. They may believe that man came from animal ancestry, but they cannot prove it.
–Dr. John R. Rice–

What an inconceivable degree of wisdom must they have acquired by the use of their amazing faculties, over and above that with which they were originally endued, in the course of more than SIX THOUSAND YEARS! (That they have existed so long we are assured; for they “sang together when the foundations of the earth were laid.”) How immensely must their wisdom have increased, during so long a period, not only by surveying the hearts and ways of men in their successive generations, but by observing the works of God, his works of creation, his works of providence, his works of grace; and, above all, by “continually beholding the face of their Father which is in heaven!”

–JOHN WESLEY, “OF GOOD ANGELS,” 1.3–

Next he turns to the woman: “What is that thou hast done?” She too has an excuse: “The serpent beguiled me and I did eat.” Ah, this perpetual shuffling the blame back upon God! It has been kept up through the long line of Adam’s imitators down to this day. For SIX THOUSAND YEARS God has been hearing it, and still the world is spared, and the vengeance of God has not yet burst forth to smite all His guilty calumniators to hell! O! what patience in God! And who have ever abused his patience and insulted Him by their excuses more than sinners in this house?

–CHARLES FINNEY, “THE EXCUSES OF
SINNERS CONDEMN GOD,” 3.3–

The Lord made the world, and lit up moon and stars, and set heaven, earth, and sea in order, with his eye upon salvation in the whole arrangement. He has ruled all things by his supreme government with the same end. The great wheels of his providence have been revolving these SIX THOUSAND YEARS before the eyes of men, and among them, and at their back, a hand has been ever passing to conduct every movement to the ultimate issue, which is the salvation of the covenanted ones. This is the object which is dearest to Jehovah’s heart. He loves best to save. God was pleased with creation, but not as he is with redemption.
