Count Zinzendorf
To avoid that extreme, many well-meaning men, particularly those under the direction of the late Count Zinzendorf, ran into another. They affirmed that all true believers are saved not only from the dominion of sin but from the being of inward as well as outward sin, so that it no longer remains in them. And from them, about 20 years ago, many of our countrymen took in the same opinion, that even the corruption of nature is no more in those who believe in Christ.
