Ok, back to the topic.
People keep trying to sell me Progressive Sanctification as a performance-based doctrine. Sanctified by works and if I object, then well, I just want to sin I am told.
Someone said Progressively Sanctified by getting better at being a Christian.
Another said perfect holiness, then lists a bunch of works verses to justify that
It`s back door works for salvation and I flatly reject it.
Perfect Holiness comes from within. Holiness is based on the condition of your heart.
Progressive Sanctification isn`t a doctrine of the Bible but if it was, it would look like this:
1 Corinthians 2:16
"For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ."
The purpose of our salvation is to conform us into the image of Christ. It`s largely a matter of the heart.The condition of our heart determines our holiness.
That holiness based on works thing, what works do you believe will make you holy? It`s ridiculous.
In Christianity, it`s all about the condition of our heart towards God, anything else is just religeon.
