Sanctification: Three phases: (1) Primary sanctification, set aside for God's use at the moment of conversion to God from idols, regenerated by the sealing of/with the Spirit; (2) Progressive sanctification, ongoing of growing in the Spirit, working out one's salvation, walking in the Spirit, until ticket to Glory is punched (some try/fail/try again going on here); (3) perfected salvation, the books on "works" closed; resting in the Lord until the Millennium begins and new body issued.
Could you point out just where; in this timeline; our name gets written in the Lamb's Book of Life?
Aargh! At #1, of course! Thanks, C, for catching this.
Oh boy! What a mistake of letting something like that get posted! Here's the correction:
