Woohoo! Im doing an intensive on holiness for the next two weeks, which means im studying at the training college during the mornings, and working in the afternoons! Busy busy! Please pray for me!
But its great. I'm really looking forward to learning heaps more! Todays lecture was pretty simple to me. (done all the thinking before...) I learnt some new stuff that I hadnt heard before which is making other things make sense but it also made me aware of a couple of misconceptions about holiness. I'm not sure if these are in Geoff and Kaylie Webbs new book, which im hearing is very very good, but I'll pop them up anyway...
Some think holiness means:
1) Entire sanctification is a destination, but its not
2) we dont recieve the Holy Spirit until wholly sanctified, but thats wrong!
3) only the wholly holy go to heaven, wrong again!
4) that the not entirely sanctified are second class citizens, this is untrue
5) legalism and self righteousness, but its actually the opposite...
6) sinlessness is the goal of the sanctified life, which is wrong as it leaves out being full of love (sorry coz i've probably written down this trail of thought before without adding the love bits...)
7) that the wholly holy wont get tempted, but even Jesus was tempted
8) the same as entire sanctifiaction, again not so (will talk more about this later!)
9) some think that the expectaions of holiness are impossible to live up to, but isnt grace more powerful than sin???
once again, i think language is one of the doctrine of holiness' biggest obstacles...
got so much more to write but will save it for another day!!!
