What is Entire Sanctification?
Entire sanctification is a work done by Jesus in the heart of a truly converted person.
It follows conversion, and is as separate and distinct from it as Calvary is from Pentecost. It is bestowed upon believers in the meeting of the conditions of self-crucifixion (Rom. 6:6), earnest prayer (Acts 1:14), and faith. (Acts 15:9)
It is not "for the world," but for those who have been called out of the world. (John 17:9)
It is given in response to our Saviour's prayer (John 17:17), His promise in Acts 1:8, His command (Matt. 5:48), and His atonement. (Heb. 13:12).
Like conversion, it is an instant work. (Acts 2:2, 4)
It is for all believers. (I Thess. 4:3; 5:23) It is a Divine work by the "God of peace," through the Word (John 17:17), applied by the Holy Spirit (I Pet. 1:2) to obedient believers. (Heb. 4:3; I Pet. 1:22)
It is not the birth of the Spirit, but the baptism with the Spirit, as distinct from regeneration as a baptism from a birth. (Matt. 3:11)
It does not exempt from temptation, but gives victory over it.
It does not eliminate humanity, but carnality.
It does not destroy free agency, making man a machine, but causes him to gladly choose the whole will of God.
It does not exempt from mistakes, or "sins of ignorance," but from inbred sin and sinning against light.
It does not give a perfect head, but a pure heart full of perfect love.
ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION MEANS
To have a pure or clean heart. (Acts 15:8-9; Matt. 5:8)
To get rid of the corrupt mind, called "carnality." (Rom. 8:7)
To receive the "promise of the Father." (Luke 24:49)
To receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. (Matt. 3:11; Acts 1:5)
To have the "old man"‹the sinful nature destroyed. (Rom. 6:6)
To be "sanctified wholly." (I Thess. 5:23)
To be "made perfect in love." (I John 4:17)
To be endued and endowed with "power from on high." (Acts 1:8)
To walk before God as one who is "blameless." (I Thess 3:13)
Entire sanctification comes to us through entirely renouncing the world, then entirely consecrating ourselves and all we have to God; exercising faith in the shed blood of Christ to cleanse us from every taint of sin and the carnal mind, and then receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Look up and ask God to baptize you with the Holy Ghost, as He has promised. As you ask, believe according to His Word. Keep asking and keep believing until the work is done. You will know when He comes. He will notify you.
This wonderful state of grace is for every saved person on the face of the earth. Not only for preachers and prophets but for all.(Acts 2:39). This is your inheritance, your blood-bought right. Claim it. Seek it. Receive it.
