Darrell,
Again, you missed two items.
One, the Scriptures teach the believer is to mature in Christ, to grow up. In that matter we agree.
However, the Scriptures do not even come close to the definition of sanctification being used as progressive. Again, growing up does not make one more holy. It makes one more able to understand the mysteries of God, the enemies plotting, and the character of living. The believer is sanctified - Holy. It is THE ONLY use found in Scriptures. There is NEVER a time when sanctification is aligned with any "progression" or steps to making one more holy.
Perhaps the greatest gauge given showing the steps to maturity is found in 2 Peter. Through out that list of building blocks, there is never a time when "sanctification" is the issue. It is a progress of maturity, of growing up.
HUMANS have attached "progressive" to sanctification, and it is a wrong application of the words.
I am NOT arguing about the teaching, I am arguing about the term used.
Second, I posted the note about the format of your posts not to bolster your ego. I could care less about that.
I posted so that more understanding and insight could be gathered by the readers from what you wrote. That is, after all, why writers write. For their readers.
HOW you write is as important as what you write. If the readers, in wadding through the format, loose the importance of the point you are making, the writing is worthless. It may contain great wisdom, but if the communication is missing, it is nothing but a irritating gong as Paul might say.
It is up to you. If you want the readers to be able to gather the information you post, then put it in a format that will allow them to do so.
I gave suggestions not to be critical, but to encourage.
However, your boasting of forums, friends, and such gives me enough insight to realize you probably will ignore this advice.
So take both points as you desire, but I offer them to you to consider.
