No facet will be missing.I'm sure those who heard him say these words thought he was being difficult.
Anyway, if any facet in the process of salvation is missing, is that person still saved?

Of course.
That is - provided that he has passed from death to life through being born again.
But then, if God chose a person "for salvation from the beginning through sanctification and belief in the truth", it goes without saying that no such person would fail to reach the point in life where he has passed from death to life.
Which verse says that abstaining from sexual immorality is our sanctification?Will every believer, that is, the elect, abstain from sexual immorality, which is our sanctification? That's kind of a stretch, don't you think?
Which verse says that abstaining from sexual immorality is our sanctification?
Yes, that is what we should do. Is there some confusion about this?1 Thessalonians 4:3
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
Not only is it our sanctification, but it is the will of God.
Here is the New King James Version -
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality;
By being made a new creation when the the old man was crucified with Christ.How do you propose one would be saved if he doesn't abstain from sexual immorality?
Yes. Sanctification is a process. I'm unsure why this is confusing you.No confusion at all on my part. This is what a believer 'should' do concerning his sanctification. And Paul said our salvation is THROUGH sanctification.
Yes. Sanctification is a process. I'm unsure why this is confusing you.
I've answered your questions. I think you are trying to filter them through your presuppositions and they aren't making sense.You still haven't answered my question - is a person saved IF sanctification is missing? If our salvation is THROUGH sanctification, then how is it a person is saved if 'our sanctification' is missing? Why are you dodging my question?
