We believe that entire sanctification is that act of
God, subsequent to regeneration, by which believers are made free from original sin, or depravity, and brought into
a state of entire devotement to God and the holy obedience of love made perfect.
It is wrought by the baptism with the Holy Ghost
and comprehends in one experience the cleansing of the heart from sin and the abiding, indwelling presence of the Holy Ghost, empowering the believer for life and service.
Entire sanctification is provided through the
blood of Jesus, is wrought instantaneously by faith preceded by entire consecration, and to this work and state of grace the Holy Spirit bears witness (Romans 6:6, 11, 13,
22; 12:1, 15:16; Galatians 2:20; Hebrews 10:14-15,
13:12-13).
This experience is also known by various terms
representing its different phases, such as “Christian Perfection,” “Perfect Love,” “Heart Purity,” “the Baptism with the Holy Ghost,” “the Fullness of the Blessing” and “Christian Holiness.”
