Enthusiam is when people believe they receive personal assurance of conversion through their own prayers, preparations, strivings, intellectual reasonings, emotional responses, etc. apart from the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Romans 10:17. The Holy Spirit gives the assurance of conversion through the outward Word of God (e.g., reading the scriptures, preaching, baptism, the supper, etc.) not inner voices.
