I agree with you. Each of us should have a mind toward improving our understanding of God's word. We should "study to show ourselves approved."

But think of the enormity of what Spurgeon says here. He says that Wesley was at an apostolic level and had won Spurgeon's undying admiration. He was calling Wesley an EFFECTIVE TOOL in the hands of God; effective in bringing souls into the kingdom.

I simply don't know Spurgeon well, but it seems he considered evangelism & mission critical areas of obedience that overrode a host of errors.

Humility, the trait of a great Christian, and an open mind to the things of God, plus an awareness that he didn't have the whole picture. That is for God alone. Thank you x. You have helped me this week.
