Tom Brown is a false teacher of the Word Faith movement:

Chart Your Course By the Words of Your Mouth
The Faith Movement

Obviously, that doesn't make him wrong on this topic. If Spurgeon wrote the article you posted, I would still say it doesn't hold any water. He makes assumptions and assertions that he doesn't back up by Scripture. And the Scriptures he quotes, he twists and reads into them his own ideas.

What do you find appealing in this?

True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
