We believe that sanctification is the process of which, according to the will of God, we are made partakers of His holiness; that it is a progressive work; that it is begun in regeneration; and that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the Sealer, and Comforter, through the continual use of the appointed means – the Word of God, self-examination, self-denial, watchfulness, and prayer.
