Jesus of course.
Being born again, and getting my spiritual self cleaned up are two different things though. Both require faith, but are different.
And this is because He always lives to intercede for me?"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." Heb 7
Uttermost saved is as saved as you can get. Nothing you do or can do will improve it. All your deeds serve the purpose of earning reward. This even includes your holiness.
My work is to trust God.
God does the cleaning part.
However, If I do not trust - God has no access.
And this is because He always lives to intercede for me?
The constant intercession would not be necessary if I was not a work in progress.
That's not what scripture says, maybe it's a new idea.The intercession is caused by your disobedience. You are a work in progress yes but your sanctification has already been taken care of.
You should probably define your terms so we all know what you're talking about.What About Progressive Sanctification?
I don`t really believe in it.
Tell me why you do.
The intercession is caused by your disobedience. You are a work in progress yes but your sanctification has already been taken care of.
I believe many Protestants make a distinction between justification on the one hand and sanctification on the other.
You’re justified once and only once, there’s no greater or lesser degree of being justified before God.
While sanctification is to do with your walk with God, that comes in greater or lesser degrees, since we are meant to be conforming ourselves and renewing our minds, being made into a nearer likeness day by day, growing in humility, patience etc.
I got that ^^^^ from The Roman Catholic controversy by Dr. James White.

So the work in progress thingy - do you have another word for it other than sanctification?
That's okay - don't buy it.Try post #15. Should answer your question nicely.
That's okay - don't buy it.
You're free to believe what you want tho.
If it's not your position, what is your understanding of what that term means?It`s no term of mine which is the reason I say I don`t believe in it. How many Progressive Sanctification
doctrines are there?
What About Progressive Sanctification?
I don`t really believe in it.
Tell me why you do.

Hebrews 10:14
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
As I understand it, progressive sanctification is simply growing in holiness or the image of Jesus day by day! That is what Hebrews says here! Sanctified is in the present passive participle which means its ending should be "ing" or to properly translate to English : Them that are being sanctified.
I read it, but didn't see what you meant."work in progress thingy was your words not mine." But you don`t want to talk about it anymore and that's ok. I guess asking you to read a post on the previous page is asking too much.
If it's not your position, what is your understanding of what that term means?
