    OK. Does it just boil down to the terminology one is using? I'm not up on what goes on in the popular evangelical arena, is a conflict concerning 'progressive sanctification' going on with you all? I've always thought of sanctification as having 'two sides'. I kinda sorta think we're actually not far apart on what we believe, just not using the same terms.

    I don't like getting into splitting hairs or straining out gnats, but you reference the OT a lot to make your point; but from the OT:

    And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow Jehovah will do wonders among you. Josh 3:5

    I have to believe that there is indeed a 'sanctification' that we are active in. It's not only passive from God's side.

    I missed this post. Again, I'm not following 'progressive sanctification', at all, or the problems this concept has caused with evangelicals. Maybe you all are splitting hairs and straining out gnats.

    All I know is God has expected me over the years to clean my act up, and, believe it or not, I am a whole lot wiser than I was, and a whole lot happier because of it.

    I disagree. The 2011 version indicates its a one time event while the 1984 version as well as the ESV do not. Well looking at the dictionary they both mean the same, however I wish they would use the plural word.

    Why did you have a hard time finding a NIV 1984? Don't you have hard copies?

    They are not the only church that thinks this way as there are other charismatic groups.
