Not in our minds, no. But God uses even the Devil to fulfill His perfect will. And which one of us has the perfect theology? As Charles Spurgeon once said, "Perhaps there is one thing on earth I love more then the last I have just mentioned(his country of Britain), and that is the pure doctrine of unadulterated Calvinism. But if that be wrong, if there be anything in it which is false, I, for one, say, let that perish too, and let Christ's name last forever."

and again:

"for I say of the Baptist name, let it perish, but let Christ's name be forever."

and:

"So I say, I hope the Baptist name will soon perish...I look forward with pleasure to the day when there will not be a Baptist living...let the name of Jesus Christ last forever."

Sermon: The Eternal Name- Charles Spurgeon.

Roger Williams spoke of Christ, the Lord used him mightily. Though his doctrine was off, dare I say he was anointed by God to be a preacher?

"Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay From His own fullness all He takes away."

"Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee."
