• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It will be interesting to see the responses.

The term is used by traditional Baptists to describe the process by which the Holy Spirit changes your outer being to match your new inner being after receiving Salvation and the Holy Spirit from Jesus. We are Justified and Redeemed by the Power of Jesus, but our flesh is weak. The Holy Spirit works to reveal sin to us and strengthen our resistance to fleshly weakness. The process is completed when we receive our glorified bodies which replace our weak fleshly ones.

Some things are transformed immediately and miraculously and some things come in time as the continued ministry of the Holy Spirit leads and reveals them to you.

Testing out the edit button. Thank you for the assistance.

2 Thessalonians
13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.

I believe that it’s a gift=A deliverance from sin.
It has to be believed to be received.
Only The Lord (H.S.- The Spirit of holiness) is qualified to sanctify. Sanctification means ‘set apart for holy use’.
Some people believe that sanctification comes with salvation, others believe that it comes later, and/or gradually.
a Jesus believer ‘knows’ when they’ve been sanctified.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ - SAVED IMMEDIATELY / SANCTIFICATION PROMISED

This is the view that I see in scripture. The statement's perspective is from the point of view of completion.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ - SAVED IMMEDIATELY / SANCTIFICATION IMMEDIATELY.

My problem with this is it leaves out the process of conforming to the image of Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit referenced in Thessalonians.

But the bottom line is this: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ" and the rest will follow, regardless of semantics.

Since there is no edit feature (advantages and disadvantages to not having edits), I must add that this is from the perspective of a traditional Baptist who is out of place in this forum.

I have come to the understanding that sanctification is acquired by the 'patiences of the saints', very slowly as part of the growing process.
