I am very aware of what sanctification and justification mean and there are three phrases to sanctification.

First is positional sanctification, when one IS saved and put into union with Christ and receives His imputed righteousness.

At that moment one is saved and secure in Christ forever.

Next is progressive sanctification which is Christian growth, and has to do with growing in grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

That is the Christian walk.

Finally, there is ultimate sanctification, when one receives his resurrected body.

Now, if you are justified you are saved-period.

The simple question is, if you were to die tonight, where would you be.

The Christian says in heaven.

Eternal salvation is not a process.

I never said or implied that salvation was a process. AGAIN — justification occurs once. I have said so ad nauseum. Time to move on, I think. Sanctification IS a process. ‘Nuff said.
