It is not for the religious;
It is not for adventure seekers;
It is not for fanatics;

It is not for doctors in theology;
It is not for those who think highly of themselves;
It is not for hypocrites;
It is not for the curious;
It is not for those who have sorrow in their heart;
It is not for the friends of unrighteousness;
It is not for those who live and love sin;
It is not for those who love this world;
It is not for those who are satisfied;
It is not for those who want to speak in tongues;
It is not for those who have other priorities;
It is not for those who have denied Jesus in their lives;
