John Norton Loughborough
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Norton Loughborough (1832 – April 7, 1924) was an early Seventh-day Adventist minister.
One well known quote by Loughborough appeared in an October 8, 1861 Review and Herald article (now the Adventist Review), in which he was quoted speaking against the formation of creeds:
- "The first step of apostasy is to get up a creed, telling us what we shall believe. The second is, to make that creed a test of fellowship. The third is to try members by that creed. The fourth to denounce as heretics those who do not believe that creed. And fifth, to commence persecution against such."[1]
