Many of these love the Lord to the extent of their knowledge of him; but their knowledge is so limited because they have been taught so much error concerning his character that they are filled with fear and dread.

They have not sufficient knowledge of him to have real faith.

They have not gone on to the point of consecration.

They have heard of the Lord's second coming and hope for something better.

They realize that there is great trouble in the world and see no human remedy for it.
