  22. Introduction Are we as careful to teach this doctrine as we are the doctrine of justification?Unity, harmony, maturity, service, testimony, evangelism and the entire ministry is affected.

  23. Introduction Are we as careful to teach this doctrine as we are the doctrine of justification? Although this is the doctrine of growth and is the basis for all the church's ministry to believers, in our day it is rarelymentioned, often ignored, seldom included in a church's Constitution.

  24. Introduction Article III, Section 11 of the Faith Baptist Constitution: We believe that Sanctification of the Believer is the Divine setting apart of the individual unto God, accomplished in a threefold manner: First, an eternal act of God based upon redemption in Christ, establishing the Believer in a position of holiness at the moment he trusts the Savior; Second, a continuing process in the saints as the Holy Spirit applies the Word of God to life; Third, the consummation of this process at the Lord's return.

  25. Introduction Are we as careful to teach this doctrine as we are the doctrine of justification? We must choose between quickfixes, shortcuts, spiritual anemia, and the biblical theology of growth and maturity

  26. Comparing Progressive Sanctification to alternatives Progressive Sanctification Sufficiency of Scriptures Justification by grace, through Christ, by faith alone. Goal of Life: Please God, Christ-like Put off / Put on (How to grow) Heart (inner man) Obeying / Knowing / Trusting God Identity in Christ Power of Holy Spirit Spiritual Discipline Repentance Responsibility Sin and Confession Enemies of Progressive Sanctification Integration (Noetic effect on sin) Pragmatism (Seeker Driven) Mysticism (Instantaneous, easy, change) Pietism (let go and let God, Spiritual Therapy, Charles Solomon - Grace Fellowship International) Demons and Deliverance Progressive Sanctification

  27. I. Review of the doctrine in church history Roman View: Legal aspects about salvation not accepted Heaven Justified & Sanctified works works works works Progressive Sanctification

  28. I. Review of the doctrine in church history Wesleyan Perfectionism: Legal aspect accepted! Justification by faith! Heaven or ____________ Rapture Infusion Experience “ZAP” Justification: By Grace Alone Trough Christ Alone By Faith Alone Salvation Progressive Sanctification

  29. I. Review of the doctrine in church history Wesleyan Perfectionism: ISBE: Wesley taught that the sin nature may be eradicated at a crisis experience and called this Christian perfection through entire sanctification, by faith. John Wesley

  30. I. Review of the doctrine in church history Wesleyan Perfectionism: From the beginning of his work in 1739 till 1760 he was formulating this doctrine. In his public address he used the terms "Christian Perfection," Perfect Love," and "Holiness," as synonymous ... John Wesley

  31. I. Review of the doctrine in church history Wesleyan Perfectionism: His theory is that in the normal Christian, the principle of holiness, beginning with the new birth, gradually expands and strengthens as the believer grows in grace and knowledge, until by a final, all-surrendering act of faith in Christ it reaches an instantaneous completion (perfection) through the act of the Holy Spirit, the sanctifier: II Cor. 7:1, "perfecting holiness," etc. .. John Wesley

  32. I. Review of the doctrine in church history Wesleyan Perfectionism: Thus, sanctification is gradual, but entire sanctification is instantaneous (Rom. 6:6, "our old man was crucified," etc ..., a sudden death; in I Thes. 5:23 the word "sanctify" is a Gk. aorist tense, signifying an act and not a process, as also in John 17:19 "That they ... may be sanctified in truth.”) John Wesley

  33. I. Review of the doctrine in church history Wesleyan Perfectionism: The attainment of this grace is certified by the cessation of all servile fear (I John 4:18) On March 6, 1760, Wesley entered into his journal the testimony of one Elizabeth Longmore: “ 'I felt my soul was all love. I was so stayed on God as I never felt before and I know that I loved Him with all my heart. .. I have never since found my heart wander from God.’ Now this is what I always did and do now mean by perfection, and this I believe many have attained, on the same evidence that I believe many are justified." John Wesley (Note: I Thes. 5:23 deals with prospective sanctification and Jn. 17:19 may deal with positional or prospective. Not one believer in the New Testament had any such experience or was told to.

  34. I. Review of the doctrine in church history Wesleyan Perfectionism: Many counselees who do not profess Wesleyanism may be striving for perfection or seeking an infusion of something to make the load or change easy). John Wesley

  36. I. Review of the doctrine in church history Popular Modification to the Wesleyan View: Question: What does the Bible say about progressive sanctification or the doctrine of growth?Note: The Holy Spirit is able to do anything He desires to do, but as Bible-believers we should expect Him to do what He said He would.
