It is worthy of note that crucifixion is not an instant process. Though its end is sure, it takes time.

"Worthy of note!" I'll say. If our positional crucifixion by faith in the risen Lord Jesus, and signified by baptism, was indeed the practical reality in every believer, then there would be little left in the church epistles.

The problem with a living sacrifice (cf. Rm./ 12:1) is that is can crawl of the altar.

And that is why the faithful of The Lord assemble on the first day of the week according to Romans 12:1-2, for the breaking of the Bread, for instruction in the doctrines of the apostles, for prayer, for fellowship in The Son (1 Cor. 1:9), to supply the needs of the saints; and if necessary, for church discipline.

Galatians 5:24 AV:
"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."
