Yes God will sanctify us. But he will not do it apart from our faith.
Yes and no. Sure we obey because we are led by the Spirit. Are we still trying to be saved? I believe so. Salvation is not final till the end whether at our death or till the second coming.
Honestly bro, everyone's journey is an individual one with the Lord. Having said that, I know that I have eternal life right now. Jesus promised me eternal life while I'm still on earth according to John 5:24.
Sure, I will receive a new body at his appearance. That does not mean I am NOT a son of God. 1 John 3:2 says "NOW are we the sons of God..."
I am 100% guaranteed of heaven. Knowing that I'm sure of my eternal destiny, I have to then walk like a child of God. That is what I understand by walking worthy of my calling.
I've been called already. My actions just have to prove that I've been called and that's through the Spirit alone.
My thoughts anyway...

Do you guys believe in Entire Sanctification that takes place instantly as the second definite act of grace where the Adamic nature is eradicated and you do not have any more propensity to sin? I was taught we make mistakes and have problems but if you are really sanctified holy, you don't sin any more. Is that what you guys believe?

The bible does not say we cannot sin. It says we should mortify the desires of the flesh. The bible says "in our flesh is no GOOD thing. Sin dwells in our flesh." As long as you have flesh, you have the possibility to sin. BUT, we do NOT have to let sin reign in our mortal bodies

I believe we are made perfect in the sight of God when we repent, are baptized into Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit. From there its a walk of faith to maintain the perfection in Christ. If one would sin they are no longer perfect to him. They are restored by repenting. If they dont repent they will not be restored.
I believe all Christians are subject to temptation. Yet no Christian is subject to sin. Being tempted is not the same as commiting sin. There is no reason a Christian should commit sin. I agree that sure we make make errors in judgment that are not counted as sins.

If it is stated as a sin in scripture it will be counted as sin. "Mistakes" we make due to errors in judgment might look like choosing the wrong Church. Choosing the wrong wife. Things that can hurt our walk but are done because of not knowing clearly what should be done.
