| | How entire is entire sanctification? |
 | | Entire sanctification is the distinctive teaching of churches in the Holiness Movement. | | | Entire sanctification builds on a certain measure of spiritual maturity, so in most believers there is a gradual leading up to it. | | | Entire sanctification cleanses the heart of this self-centeredness, bringing victory over this sin that remains in the believer. |

| | Entire sanctification -- "partakers of the divine nature." | | | By seeking entire sanctification as a distinct blessing obtainable by faith we get it clear and definite, to the satisfying of the soul; while those who think they obtained all at conversion that God can give them, generally either go back, or go on in a manner unsatisfactory even to themselves. | | | Of entire sanctification expressed by the "renewing of the Holy Ghost." |

| | It was John Wesley, however, who, after the passing of the Dark Ages and the Lutheran Reformation, rediscovered, restated and revitalized the doctrine of Entire Sanctification by faith in Christ as a second definite work of grace in the heart of the believer. | | | Quoting from M. Redford's book, "The Rise of the Church of the Nazarene," regarding Wesley's experience and teaching of Entire Sanctification: "This happened about seven months after his conversion at a memorable love feast in London when George Whitefield and he, with other prominent Methodist ministers, were having a union meeting of the Methodist societies. | | | In contrast to the view held by Count Zinzendorf and the Moravians, namely, that we are both saved and sanctified all in one experience, Wesley sought and obtained at a later date the experience of Heart Purity or Entire Sanctification by complete consecration and faith in Christ's atoning blood. |

| | But what would otherwise seem to be absurd, that sinful people may become holy as God is holy, this has been made possible through Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate. | | | Theosis, deification, or divinization, is the Christian doctrine of sanctification as it developed in Eastern Orthodoxy, especially in the hesychast tradition. | | | The crucial Orthodox assertion, that God is one, sets an absolute limit on the meaning of theosis - it is not possible for any created being to become, ontologically, God or, another god. |

| | Our part in the work of entire sanctification is to completely consecrate ourselves or to set ourselves apart to God, willingly acknowledging the lordship of Jesus Christ in our lives. | | | As he surrenders to God, his prayer is not, "Forgive me," but "Cleanse me." The new birth deals with the sins we have committed; entire sanctification cleanses our hearts from their sinful condition. | | | It is only as we understand the two-fold nature of sin creating past guilt and a present condition that we can understand the doctrine of entire sanctification. |

| | Entire Sanctification, by B. B. Warfield |
| | Not only may a Christian man be perfect—absolutely perfect in all departments of his being—but he certainly and unfailingly shall be perfect. | | | "This is the will of God" for you, says the Apostle to his readers in this very epistle, "even your sanctification." A great part of the epistle is given, accordingly, to commending the new converts for the progress they had already made in this sanctification, and to urging them onward in the same pathway. | | | Whether spiritual perfection may be attained before then, he does not in this passage say. |

| | Most of the roughly six thousand congregants in attendance at Knoxville and other later revivals eagerly received the doctrine of entire sanctification, a second work of grace following salvation, in which, they thought, the believer was made free from sin. | | | John Wesley said when the Methodist church gave up the doctrine of holiness they would be a backslidden and fallen church. | | | Two holiness papers, The Way of Faith and The Pentecostal Herald focused almost exclusively on the movement's peculiar views concerning eschatology, healing, and entire sanctification. |

| | Adam Clarke wrote and preached and exegeted the doctrine of entire sanctification with all his command of scripture, linguistic expertise, and wide theological reading, but there is one characteristic of his presentation that deserves more attention. | | | His Commentary and Critical Notes on the entire Bible was completed in 1826 and it represented more than 30 years of intense research and writing. | | | He not only believed it was a scriptural doctrine and that it was theologically sound--he enforced it and explained it and defended it with all the passion of an evangelist. |

Prayers for entire sanctification; which, were there no such thing, would be mere mockery of God. | | | In the year 1729, I began not only to read, but to study, the Bible, as the one, the only standard of truth, and the only model of pure religion. | | | As several persons were present, who did not believe the doctrine of perfection, we agreed to examine it from the foundation. |

| | Not in the same sense; for this repentance and these fruits are only remotely necessary in order to the continuance of his faith, as well as the increase of it; whereas faith is immediately and directly necessary to sanctification. | | | These believers, still full of indwelling sin, instantaneously breathe out their last, and, without any peculiar act of faith, without any peculiar outpouring of the sanctifying Spirit, corruption is instantaneously gone. | | | How is Strong Faith to be joined with Patience and Resignation when seeking Entire Sanctification? |

| | I was equally ignorant of the nature of saving faith; apprehending it to mean no more than 'a firm assent to all the propositions contained in the Old and New Testaments.' "-Vol. | | | Sometimes I confounded it with sanctification; at other times I had some confused notion about the forgiveness of sins; but then I took it for granted the time of this must be either the hour of death or the day of judgment. | | | He says: "I was utterly ignorant of the nature and condition of justification. |
