I see an exteme in believing in the imputed righteousness of Christ that denies the need for sanctification. I also see an extreme of denying the imputation of the rightoeusness of Christ that bases our salvation upon our works.
The imputation of Christ's righteousness initially makes us holy before God that we might receive the Holy Ghost. This is justification. Because without it... no man would be worthy. At this point a man is "positionally" declared righteous and holy on account of Christ's own righteousness. However, sanctification addresses our "condition" and is our surrendering to the Spirit that Christ might be formed in us. Failure to sanctify one's self is akin to one being freely declared royalty without any merit in his own self... and refusing to learn the ways of royalty to the point of ultimately being disowned by the royal family.
This video is missing this balance.
