True sanctification, according to Scripture, is the process of God’s transforming work in your life. In the moment of your salvation, you are declared justified by the Lord through the sacrifice of His Son and freed from the guilt of sin. From there, sanctification frees you from the pollution of sin, helping you destroy sinful patterns and relinquish your former wickedness. -John MacArthur, GTY
This is contrary to the CoG Declaration of Faith. However it is becoming popular assumption of many CoG preachers. It is a departure from the second work of grace, entire sanctification.
We to have teaching of the CoG sanctification doctrine to the membership. Whatever happened to THIS WE BELUEVE?
wasn’t there a CTC for that?
the CoG testimony by multitudes is I am saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. two works of grace and an infilling.
The second work of grace is sanctified wholly, entirely.
sometimes that’s me!!!
Soon Pentecostals won’t even believe in Sanctifaction
if sanctification is evidenced by outward holiness they don’t believe it now!!!
Don’t let John MacArthur form your thinking. He is often in error, not having as firm a grip on Scripture as he does on Reformed Commentary. Your friend, Nathan
most CoG preachers are in line with JMac when it comes to sanctification – they are in agreement.
