And, BTW, your post is probably a good example of why I didn't and won't apologize for my previous infraction.

Second and Third Blessing. In other words, all of these episodes, whatever you want to call them that suits you personally, refer to a powerful interaction with the Spirit. Wesley believed a similar crisis experience for baptism in the Spirit was what happened for sanctification. Of course his doctrine spun out of control with the Holiness movement and later Pentecostals, and those who believed later that we are imputed (literally) righteousness, which fed into triumphalism and this idea that perfection is realistic, and even a present reality.
