The statement:
John Wesley taught that holiness, or Christian perfection, was a definite and instantaneous second work of grace received by faith, and followed by gradual sanctification.
seems to be somewhat controversial; it certainly surprized me. Such research as I've done suggests Wesley may not have been consistent on this point. I reference the following link:
A Look At Holiness And Perfectionism Theology
Where is the "perfection followed by gradual sanctification" documented in Wesley's writings?
Thanks for the response. While I admire the man, I am not a student of John Wesley. But if I come up with a better description, I'll make the edit. mjscud 06:37, 2003 Dec 19 (UTC)
