No...I have taught faithfully on these boards on the subject of entire sanctification; and if I did not live by what I teach I would be a hypocrite (but I suppose that this will be your next accusation). It is sound doctrine to say that we all have indwelling sin; and in doing so I am not using...

All scripture is inspired of the Lord and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). You are in denial of specific verses and passages in the Bible; and that means that you carry dangerous doctrine. Jesus responded to the...

Consider the sentiment to be mutual.

1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Gal 3:22, But the scripture hath concluded all (including the born again) under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Gal 6:13, For neither they themselves...

No, @Behold. I do not teach that Christians are to sin. I teach that Christians have sin; but that for the sanctified believer, the element of sin is rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say over our behaviour. As believers, we are not sinless...

In 1 John 1:8, we are told that we are sinners in the sense that we have indwelling sin. However, we are sanctified in our walk in that sin is rendered dead in the sanctified believer (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8); so that it no longer has any say over his or her behaviour. We have...

Hi @Enoch111, "sinless perfection" while it is a real doctrine that has been taught even on these boards, is also a misnomer that is applied to the doctrine of entire sanctification in order to create a straw man that is toppled by 1 John 1:8. In all reality, the doctrine of entire...

Our identification as saints.

Jesus was made perfect in the sense that He was groomed to be a perfect high priest. It is not that He wasn't perfect all of His life; since He was in fact God the Son. But in order to become the perfect High Priest, He had to come to the experiential understanding of everything that it means...

In all reality, @Enoch111, as sanctified believers we are sinners who live holy lives; I believe that you have it backwards.

@Behold, I taught these things before you came along. So, don't think that I am suddenly preaching your doctrine. I am agreeing with you in some points and showing your error in other points. Because you are mixing sound doctrine with the false in order to gain credibility. It is like how...

It should be clear that as believers in Christ we are not under the law (Romans 6:14) are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from the law (Romans 7:6). This means that the law no longer defines us as sinners; in that our relationship to the law has changed: so that...

I know that you are writing under the assumption that you are correct in your theology and that you are attempting to save souls by what you are preaching. However, when you are effectively taking out of the word of God three books of the Bible, claiming that reading them will lead a man to...

I realize that I got here late; but something needs to be said here. Indwelling sin is a reality for every person on the face of the planet. In this sense, every last one of us is a "sinner". Jer 17:9, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Mat...

Very good...and also this (same concept, different scripture): 2Pe 3:13, Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 2Pe 3:14, Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in...

I agree that it is important that we should live a holy life as Christians... But if living holy is required for salvation, then in a sense works are also a requirement; and we know that the Bible teaches the opposite of that. To get it in proper perspective, we must understand that the Lord...

It is also true that holy living goes largely unnoticed in this world (because it is boring). People are more inclined to notice sinful behaviour than the behaviour of someone who is actually living the Christian life the way they are supposed to.

As I said, it is something that is entirely invisible. Because even if someone outwardly exhibits behaviour that would denote entire sanctification in his life; there is still the secret life that no one knows about except them and the Lord. So then, we can only determine whether someone is...
