Is this a safe place to share one's experience of entire sanctification or will it be belittled?
I am looking for fellowship with Wesleyan Arminian believers.Are you looking for Methodist answers only?
Thank you. Then I have no comment because I am not Wesleyan nor Arminian.I am looking for fellowship with Wesleyan Arminian believers.
Honestly, it probably depends a lot on how the experience and or post is worded. But broadly, yes, this would be the right place as it is a pretty standard Methodist teaching.Is this a safe place to share one's experience of entire sanctification or will it be belittled?
it surprises me how most Christians are not interested in this at all. it seems to me like the most wonderful thing that could happen in a believer's life.I want to give praise and glory to God for what he has done in my life.
Recently, the Lord sanctified my heart. After years of a sinning and repenting cycle, He has given my deliverance from sin.
In the midst of my constant defeat, I read Thomas Cook's 'New Testament Holiness' and the light of God's way of holiness shone through.
Cook states that the way to holiness of heart is consecration and faith. I had a battle with consecration as there were a number of issues that I had to let go of.
After a time, I broke through and consecrated my whole life on the altar. A verse that stuck with me was 1 John 1:7, If we walk in the light as he is in the light,...... the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses from ALL sin. It was not just 'sins' but 'sin'.......indwelling sin, that needed I needed cleansing from.
By faith, I claimed the promise and asked for complete cleansing. There were no flashing lights, or heightened emotions, just a deep peace and a sense that something had been done within.
Since that time, I have real victory over sin. That inward battle to do God's will has gone and a new love for God and others has been born.
Opposition, yes. The devil still tempts me but I have a new resolve to resist. Prayer has become more meaningful and a new desire to reach others with the Gospel.
I am aware that I could fall so I watch and pray, maintain my position of consecration and faith. Now laid before me is the challenge of growth in Christlikeness, and maturity. I have not arrived! There is more to go in my walk with God.
Again, I give God the praise and all the glory .
