| Anyone believe in sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ? If not what do you believe about sanctification |

| so does this mean entire sanctification is scriptural? John Wesley may have believed that but I don't. Were the early COG people in error to testify that they were saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost? I know that Keswick Theology would hold to an entire sanctification as well as moderate Calvinist |

| I Thessalonians 4:3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:Would anyone say that Paul thought it was normal for born again believers to fornicate, and that he was wanting his readers to experience a one-time crisis experience of sanctification that just happened to them, or didn't, when they prayed, otherwise they'd end up fornicating?Is it normative for believers to fornicate |

| Here is how Wesley himself dealt with the issue of sinfulness remaining in believers: V. 1. The sum of all is this: There are in every person, even after he is justified, two contrary principles, nature and grace, termed by St. Paul the flesh and the Spirit. Hence, although even babes in Christ are sanctified, yet it is only in part. In a degree, according to the measure of their faith, they are spiritual; yet, in a degree they are carnal. Accordingly, believers are continually exhorted to watch against the flesh, as well as the world and the devil. And to this agrees the constant experience of the children of God. While they feel this witness in themselves, they feel a will not wholly resigned to the will of God. They know they are in him; and yet find an heart ready to depart from him, a proneness to evil in many instances, and a backwardness to that which is good. wesley.nnu.edu/john-wesley/the-sermons-of-john-wesley-1872-edition/sermon-13-on-sin-in-believers/ |

| It is important to note that Wesley also taught that even babes in Christ are able to resist temptation by the grace of God, and that |

| Wesley never taught a second work of grace or a work subsequent to the new birth just entire sanctification |
