13提后二章二十二节说,要“清心呼求主”。我们所注意的,就是清心和呼求主。正如在身体里,只要是外面加进来的东西,都不太能和身体的肢体调和、相合。同样的原则,你若是清心祷告主的人,碰着一位不清心祷告的人,也没有办法和他在一起。这不是宗派的问题。若说这样合不来就是宗派,那么即使是这样混在一起,神也要定罪,因为神定罪混杂的事。清心的人和不清心的人,倚靠神和倚靠自己的人,受神引导作工和用自己办法作工的人,不能混在一起;从来没有一个混杂能蒙神称许(李常受文集一九五六年第二册,三九五至三九六、三九九至四○○页)。
13Second Timothy 2:22 says that we need to “call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” Our focus is on calling on the Lord and having a pure heart. Anything added to our physical body from the outside cannot become one with our body. In the same principle, if we are ones who pray to the Lord out of a pure heart, we cannot be joined to someone who does not. This is not a question of sectarianism. If we call this sectarianism and try to join with ones who do not pray out of a pure heart, God will condemn us, because He condemns any mixture. The pure in heart and those with an impure heart, those who rely on the Lord and those who do not rely on the Lord, and those who are led by the Lord in their work and those who work by their own methods should not be mixed together. No mixture is approved by God. (CWWL, 1956, vol. 2, “Three Aspects of the Church, Book 2: The Course of the Church,” pp. 299-300, 302)
