Do you posses holiness prior to sanctification?
Teresa Vnwy
yes
Pat Fretwell

Varnel Watson
no one knows but Jesse Morrell
Jesse Morrell
Sanctification happens when you repent of your sins and are converted from darkness to light
Varnel Watson
but Jesse Morrell I believe RichardAnna Boyce says you dont need to repent in order to be saved
Jesse Morrell
Troy Day what about repenting of unbelief, of self righteousness, of pride, of works based salvation, etc?
Are these not sins that need to be repented of in order to be saved?
Varnel Watson
I’ve asked RichardAnna Boyce and he cant tell me
RichardAnna Boyce
Troy Day when one changes your mind about unbelief, and first believe in Jesus to guarantee you eternal life; you are repenting about unbelief. Repentance = 180 degree turn and agreeing with God. But i dont believe repentance of behavioural sins is a necessary condition of initial saving faith. Bur repentance is compulsory for a believer to gain rewards in the Millennium.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Varnel Watson
did you read this RichardAnna Boyce
Varnel Watson
what verse do you have RichardAnna Boyce
Michael A. Ward
No, you can’t have one independent of the other.
Ray E Horton
In one sense yes, and in another, no. With the instant sanctification of the rebirth of our spirits, we have holiness within. However, at the soulish level of our thoughts, emotions and behavior, that personal holiness must be worked out into our daily lives.
RichardAnna Boyce
First Corinthians 1:30 is a good verse to summarize our sanctified, or set-apart, position in Christ: “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”
This is an absolute, perfect, and objective thing. Positional sanctification takes place instantaneously at salvation, irrespective of how little it may or may not immediately show up in our lives. The Corinthians, who had a long way to go before they would be considered “saintly” by outside observers (and who did, after all, often have rather rough backgrounds), are addressed by Paul in these words: “And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Cor 6:11)
