It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.
The emphasis of holiness movements tends to be that God is producing specimens of holiness to put in His museum.
If you accept this concept of personal holiness, your life’s determined purpose will not be for God, but for what you call the evidence of God in your life.
How can we say, “It could never be God’s will for me to be sick”?
If it was God’s will to bruise His own Son (Isaiah 53:10), why shouldn’t He bruise you?
What shines forth and reveals God in your life is not your relative consistency to an idea of what a saint should be....

One more pastor who doesnt have a clue what the word holiness is.... and has even less of a clue what the word means to Holiness people.

My thoughts too.

Here's another one from the same guy:

Processed cheese, processed meats, They’re all avoided. Most snacks such as chocolate bars, chips and the like – out. I still drink Coke Zero. Anyway, my point is that many people are eating food that is not good for them! They don’t read the labels. They don’t look at the ingredients. They think “well, so and so is eating that, and I trust them, so it must be good! Isn’t it?” Except they usually don’t ask that last question.
And here’s the trouble — people are doing this spiritually. They eat and drink from tainted sources, without really looking at the ingredients of the ‘processed’ food they are consuming spiritually, from spiritual sources, authors, composers, preachers, which are less than orthodox historically, let alone correct Biblically.

You would be better off reading the lables on canned meat.
