{{cquote|Four of the most popular teachers of doctrinal antinomianism were John Saltmarsh, [[John Eaton]], [[Tobias Crisp]] and [[Robert Lancaster]]. They explained the [[free grace]] of God to the elect in such a way as to neglect the Biblical teaching that a Christian has certain responsibilities to God such as daily humbling for sin, daily prayer, continual trust in God and continual love to men. One of their favourite doctrines was [[eternal justification]], by which they meant that God not only elected the Church to salvation but actually justified the elect before they were born.}}
