No neutral ground
Yes, if you would observe our Lord's direction in its full meaning and extent, then remember his word: He who is not for us is against us, and he who does not gather with me scatters (Luke 11:23). He who does not gather men into the kingdom of God assuredly scatters them from it. For there can be no neutral ground in this war. Everyone is either on God's side or on Satan's. Are you on God's side? Then you will not only not forbid any man who casts out devils, but you will labor to the uttermost of your power to forward him in the work. You will readily acknowledge the work of God and confess the greatness of it. You will remove all difficulties and objections, as far as may be, out of his way. You will strengthen his hands by speaking honorably of him before all men, and avowing the things which you have seen and heard. You will encourage others to attend upon his word, to hear him whom God has sent. And you will omit no actual proof of tender love which God gives you an opportunity of showing him.

12. Yea, if you would observe our Lord’s direction in its full meaning and extent, then remember his word, He that is not for us, is against us; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. He that gathereth not men into the kingdom of God, assuredly scatters them from it. For there can be no neuter in this war. Every one is either on God’s side or on Satan’s. Are you on God’s side? Then you will not only not forbid any man that casts out devils, but you will labour to the uttermost of your power, to forward him in the work. You will readily acknowledge the work of God, and confess the greatness of it. You will remove all difficulties and objections, as far as may be, out of his way. You will strengthen his hands by speaking honourably of him before all men, and avowing the things which you have seen and heard. You will encourage others to attend upon his word, to hear him whom God hath sent. And you will omit no actual proof of tender love, which God gives you an opportunity of shewing him.
