Justification is what God does for us, while sanctification is WHAT GOD DOES IN US. Definition of justification and santification

SDA Believe pp.138 True repentance and justification lead to sanctification. Justification and sanctification are closely related, distinct but never separate. They designate two phases of salvation: Justification is what God does for us, while sanctification is WHAT GOD DOES IN US
THIS IS WHAT THUSIA SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST BELIEVE a original Seventh -Day -Adventist Church not controlled by those that are off -shoot from the truth -the General Conference.

Again another wrong teaching of justification by the General- conference, Justification does not lead to sanctification, justification it is not related to sanctification, my brother, justification is sanctification. I will give the evidence from the bible and from the written of Sis White, She said: "Many commit the error of trying to define minutely the fine points of distinction between justification and sanctification. Into the definitions of these two terms they often bring their own ideas and speculations" Ellen G. White Comments,The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary p 1072 vol 6.(Manuscripts 21, 1891).
Before we go to the scriptures let us understand the genesis of this great dilemma "This division was first done by Melanchthon way back in the 1530', and into the separate meanings of the two- Justification and Sanctification- were brought more detailed definitions that separeted the two so far and wide as rob justification of its transformative meaning." The Splitting in Two ojf Justification by Nyron Medina pg 16.
In the scripture, we see that justification is used paralled with sanctification 1Ccor 6:9-11
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

To be justified means to be made righteous as Luther said "But we are indeed justified and made righteous in Christ ...." Martin Luther, A Commentary on St Paul's Epistle to the Galatians p.146 To be Sanctified means to be "holified" or made holy (sanctified ). SANCTIFY (Heb) (quadas)...describes the state of "make holy" or 'dedicate." William D Mounce, Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words , pp 610,611
"SANCTIFY) (hagiazo) is usaually rendered "make holy, sanctify, consecrate." Ibid. p.611 Please note Sis White said : "The doctrine of justification by faith, so clearly taught by Luther...E,G White The Great Controversy p 253 This clearly shows us that a justified person is one who has been made righteous, and certainly be made holy or sanctified please carefully look at the following scriptures (Tit 3;5-7compare with Eph 5:25-27and Isa 53:11) Rev22:11(Gal 3:7-9,14, compare with 2Thess 2:13) . Thus justification is the what God in us and it is the same as justification.

Anyone wishing tfor further studies on the most important topic, please send me a G mail or Email I will send a 40pg notes of NYRON MEDINA'S "THE SPLITTING IN TWO OF JUSTIFICATION" to used until the book is finished typed. these notes contains extenstive quotes from Luther and Malnchton clearly proving that it was Malanchthon that make the split in justification.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we are

DID ELLEN G. WHITE EVER CALL THE S.D.A. CHURCH BABYLON IN ANY WAY? BY NYRON MEDINA

In the Bible is brought to view the following statement: “And after these things I  saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was  lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,  Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all  nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the  earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are  waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice  from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her  sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1-4. Of this Scripture  we are told that it speaks about the Church, fallen because of sins. “In amazement  they [the people] hear the testimony that Babylon is the church,

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our right to heaven. It is the only merit we can claim.
