This is the process of sanctification, the work of the Holy spirit in You.
Being seperated Comes from the Spirit, when one is placed in the Body of believers. This is the finished work of the Cross, from there we grow in our walk producing such fruits. The work of God in us.

Sanctification means 'the act of being made a saint'. A saint is a 'holy one'. Thus, sanctification is the act of being made holy. Sanctified means 'holy', 'holy-fied' if you will.
Trying to divide 'sanctification' from 'holiness' is an error based on using equivalent English terms without regard to their grammatical equivalency. Or in other words, it is the fallacy of equivocation, in a sense.
Just like the 'remission vs forgiveness of sins' error.
Also, I see you are espousing the 'progressive sanctification view' and the 'positional holiness view'.
Question - can a person die and still be saved without being entirely sanctified? If not, how sanctified does a person need to be to make it?
NOTE TO EVERYBODY: BY THE WAY - I AM NOT CLAIMING TO BE ENTIRELY SANCTIFIED, PERFECT, ABOVE MISTAKE, OR FREE FROM ERROR. In fact, I am not making any claims whatsoever about my - OR YOUR - state of sanctification or holiness.
SO PLEASE PEOPLE - let's not get into 'Oh, so you think you're perfect, eh?' types of comments.
