Panton, also, came to accept the view there were conditions, which disciples had to fulfil in order to share this special reign ("Selective Rapture").
The immediate consequence was Panton's acceptance of baptism by total immersion, which caused him to leave the Church of England and become an "undenominational" Christian.
In 1901, Panton was called to take up the pastoral duties at Surrey Chapel, Norwich, succeeding Robert Govett, who had died in February that year and whose teaching he had come to accept from his days at Cambridge.
There were also several who volunteered for missionary service, including one worker in China (Margaret E. Barber) who was influential in the nurturing of Watchman Nee.
His aim for his magazine was the stimulus, encouragement, and instruction of Christians who believed without reservation in all the Scriptures, and who sought to devote their lives to the highest ends before the return of Christ and the Kingdom.
This new responsibility heavily taxed the delicate constitution of Panton's health and brought inevitable changes, he retired from full-time ministry at Surrey Chapel, but he agreed to preach for one Sunday in each month.
Panton's own writings included: Present-Day Pamphlets [Series]: (All published by Charles J. Thynne & Jarvis Ltd, London) 'A Rejoinder on The Judgment Seat of Christ' (A J Tilney, Norwich, 1912 [Private Run]).
