Positional or Practical Holiness?

Although I think both are vitally important... and one can not really have one without the other... I agree with what Andy said.

 

Amen, Brother C4K -- You are so RIGHT ON! :thumbs:

 

Neither in my opinion. I would say they're equally important.

 

Wow. Both. But I voted positional.

 

No vote here.

Another wayward attempt at separating Justification from Sanctification.

Positional separated from Practical is nothing Jesus said "you will know them by their fruit" not by their claims to having a relationship with our Lord and Saviour.

If your saved, prove it by your fruit. If not, then stop trying to prove it by argumentation.

 

Isn't that what the Catholics are doing, trying to prove it by their fruit? How much fruit will prove it?

 

Frankly, I don't know what Catholics are doing but if it's a Works-Based Salvation then they are trying to earn what they don't already have by grace through works... big difference than establishing what they already have through grace by works.

How much claiming to having a relationship with Christ will prove it? The point is moot!

You're replacing outward works with inward works. Their both works. Whither you're regenerate or not is simply not objectively determinable but Christ did say 'we will know them by their fruit'.
