Zeal overflowing from a source other than sound knowledge

can disrupt the peace of the church.

Among the saints in the church who zealously strive,

in their own perception, for the right purpose for the Lord,

there also seem to be individuals who overflow with fervor to the extent

of refusing to adhere to the regulations set by pastors and elders (the session)

(Acts 16:4; Numbers 16:3, 7).

For they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge

(Romans 10:2).

Zeal without knowledge is not good,

and hasty individuals make many mistakes

(Proverbs 19:2).
