Sanctification is both an accomplished fact (when the gift of the Holy Spirit is given) as well as a process. CL promotes the false doctrine that she is sinlessly perfect, but that is not true. Sanctification is the process of become more like the Lord and walking in the Spirit. But that is not the same as sinless perfection (which is achieved at the time of glorification),I used to believe sanctification was a process too but, no longer as how do we get around the scriptures stating it has already taken place and yes, set apart as you say.
Precisely, the scribes and Pharisees whom Jesus was speaking to couldn't claim ignorance, they had to reconcile the supernatural works they were witnessing, and there could only be works of Satan or He was God. These works were supernatural not like you see today. Later in Hebrews Paul is conveying this message to Jews that would turn back to Judaism,Perhaps this was because they were rejecting the very works which were so overwhelmingly given by the Father to prove Jesus was Who He claimed to be.
This would be a good question for Jack Wilson.Question: So if that Christian that commits murder and never repents, first, was that murder a sin, and are they still saved?
I guess try and put it into context?Yes, all sin does lead to death but what to do with the words of Christ Himself then? He said blaspheming the Holy Spirit would never be forgiven, in this world or the next.
What are we to do with that scripture?

These were scribes and Pharisees that had truly seen the works of God.
"but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin "-- It seems pretty straight forward to me. Eternal is eternal whether it be before or after the Cross, speaking to Jews or Gentiles, pharisees. I see no pardon through grace either. (shrug) :)

Lol, he appears to me to be against lawyers.God's law is not against killing, but against murder. I would have done the same thing as Jack Wilson to SAVE LIVES.
Glorification is becoming perfect. We are already sinless.
Looks like you know nothing about this matter. The Scriptures are right there for anyone to read:I wonder what commentary you use to get this word "Glorification". Its not a NT Term...
I wonder what commentary you use to get this word "Glorification".
Its not a NT Term, and the HS didn't "whisper" it to you when you were in a tongue trance.
So, just stop with that nonsense.
Who is the commentary by, that you are using?
Just be honest.
Also, "becoming perfect"..
If you are sinless, you are already righteous, = already perfect, as a "new creation".
So, the only idea that can relate to your commentaries idea of "glorification", is DISCIPLESHIP.
And that IS a process...but its not one that based on "glorification" as you described as a "divine nature" change.

Yes, in and by the Holy Spirit we are given the power, the incentive, the means, not to ever sin again, but... when we teach others and we ourselves practice quenching the Holy Spirit in us, then we and they whom we have to so taught will almost certainly sin again.Don't you know the REASON for being born again and filled with the Spirit of Christ???
It is so there won't be any FUTURE sins to be forgiven.
Yet still living in our own bodies in this world.
And then what did these words of John the Baptist mean?Yet still living in our own bodies in this world.
