An Anti-Christian first of all means a Substitute-Christian, i.e., a man who stands in the place of a Christian, although according to the spirit he is none; thus a false Christian. But that is not all: for as the Substitute-Christians think they are the true Christians, although they are the children of the bond-maid and not children of the free woman, so they cannot acknowledge the true, re-born, Spirit-Christians as true; but are angry with them, persecute and ridicule them with hate and jealously (Gal. 4) . The Substitute-Christians call the true Christians all sorts of hateful names, and because they are not born of the flesh, but re-born out of the seed of the preached Word of God, as adults, when they have heard and believed, so they are accused especially of proselytizing, whereby a few are drawn over from the State-Church to a sect.
