We believe that salvation secures for the believer a fully sanctified standing before God, but that the believer also needs to experience a continuing sanctification in his daily life as he walks in and is filled with the Holy Spirit. We believe that every saved person battles the pressures of the old bent to sin, the world system and Satan. Any claims to sinless perfection are not scriptural. However, believers have been delivered from the tyranny of the flesh by their identification with Christ's death, burial and resurrection, and may experience freedom to do right as they continue to rely upon the Holy Spirit's power.
