Be Perfect Be Pure

[Costeon]

Since I first got on this forum a couple of years ago, I have been surprised a few times at some posts in which someone had apparently claimed to be perfect without any sin. If our salvation is dependent on my moment by moment obedience--my perfection--then I am in effect saving myself. If I lose my justified status the instant I have failed in any way, then my justification is based on me not on Christ.

You have an excellent point.

But to really appreciate what we are actually talking about. You would need to at least watch the last video. I know I’m handing out homework with everyones already busy schedule. But one needs to watch the video or videos to understand what is really being commented on.

Just to be clear, are you referring to the thread "Perfect In God's Will Part 2 Video?"

Yes, if you don’t want to watch all three, then the 20 minute one should do it.

I'm guessing the real topic here isn't the Biblical doctrine of sanctification?
