There are no more true Holiness folk in my area. I believe I am going to drive down to Flovilla, GA and catch the camp meeting down there later this week.

How do you define holiness?
I knew a holiness woman who poured gas on herself and lit a match. She was as decent as it gets, very deep rooted......Not by denomination. A holiness person is someone who has a deep rooted decency to accompany his Christianity.
There are also a lot of Westboro Baptist, but that don't make all Baptist that way.I knew a holiness woman who poured gas on herself and lit a match. She was a decent as it gets, very deep rooted......
Let me specify southeastern holiness, and not that of yankee variety.I knew a holiness woman who poured gas on herself and lit a match. She was a decent as it gets, very deep rooted......
They must use leaded instead? Just sayin', you lead me to believe Christians are not holy unless they're like you and your comrades.Let me specify southeastern holiness, and not that of yankee variety.
You should....There are also a lot of Westboro Baptist, but that don't make all Baptist that way.
Please visit the web site and understand the variety. These folks also encourage casual dress in the meetings.They must use leaded instead? Just sayin', you lead me to believe Christians are not holy unless they're like you and your comrades.
Based on what I know, true holiness is love for God and enemies. I've seen little if any of this in holiness circles.Please visit the web site and understand the variety. These folks also encourage casual dress in the meetings.
Again, read and understand the variety and be a little slower to judge what you know nothing about.... http://indianspringscampmeeting.org/Based on what I know, true holiness is love for God and enemies. I've seen little if any of this in holiness circles.
What about the Sermon on the Mount and not resisting evil?Again, read and understand the variety and be a little slower to judge what you know nothing about.... Home
We Believe…
Scripture: The Bible is the divinely inspired word of God, providing authoritative guidance for every challenge and experience of life.
Salvation: All are under the penalty of sin, but God’s redemptive plan provides salvation for everyone who believes in Jesus Christ.
Sanctification: Sanctification is a second definite work of grace following salvation, which cleanses our hearts from the power of sin, and continues as a process of growing more Christ-like in everyday living.
The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit provides the sanctified believer the power to grow more like Christ in his daily walk.

Yes, we believe sanctification is important.Interesting. Their statement of faith sounds sort of similar to "Christ's Sanctified Holy Church." They are a Trinitarian Sola Scriptura Church that believes Sanctification is a second work of God that is a part of salvation.
Christ's Sanctified Holy Church:
(Statement of Faith on the main page of their website):
"Christ's Sanctified Holy Church is an association of churches established primarily on the principle that salvation is accomplished by two separate works of the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The first work of grace is forgiveness of the sins that we have committed, which requires full repentance toward God. The second work is the baptism of the Holy Ghost, or sanctification, which is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, eradicating the nature of sin."
Christ's Sanctified Holy Church-Holiness unto the Lord
I am looking to visit Christ's Sanctified Holy Church sometime this year (Lord willing) because they believe the same way as I do (according to their statement of faith - with the exception that I do not believe in Eternal Conscious Torment) (Note: I believe in Dualistic Conditional Immortality: This is the view that hell is a real and literal place, but after the judgment, the wicked will be punished for a time in the Lake of Fire, and then they will be erased from existence and be no more).
Yes, we believe sanctification is important.
Sanctification is taught different just about everywhere!I think the key difference between the church you mention and mine is that the church you mention is not saying that the second work (Sanctification) is a part of salvation. Christ's Sanctified Holy Church is saying that Sanctification is a part of salvation (of which I agree with). This is why I am excited to visit them. For most churches do not believe this way.

How George Clark Rankin picked up his salvation in North Georgia in the mid-1800's, which is how I picked it up as well.... The Life of George Clark RankinEven churches who hold to Wesleyan holiness (like Methodist, Nazarene, Church of Christ) believe in Sola Fide (or Faith Alone). They do not see "Works of Faith" or "Holiness" as a necessary component or part of salvation. Some of them may be inconsistent with their statement on Sola Fide and say you need works, etc. as a part of salvation. If this is the case, they need to deny Sola Fide (or Belief Alone-ism).
