It's not James only, but even Paul got carried away. Here is his testimony in Acts 22: "I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him." What!? Paul!? Baptised by a devout man according to the law!? What happened to God's economy, Paul? What happened to faith alone? Where's the dispensing of the processed Trinity in Acts 22:12? Or, Acts 26: "Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me" What!? Do works!? Paul!? What happened to faith alone? And Peter and John, going up to the temple for the hour of daily prayer in Acts 3:1? Don't they know God is done with the physical temple? Never mind that in their natural human concepts they healed a man, and thousands got saved. It's vanity, I tell you. Vanity and fallen human concepts.
