The CoG (Holiness Movement) was founded initially on a OSAS definition of regeneration carried forth from the Baptist churches of Tellico Plains. It soon mingled with Methodism and the holiness move throughout the country.

It soon lost it’s OSAS view and moved to a second work of sanctification and maintained a distinctive dual work in salvation: new birth and sanctification.

A person could be born again and yet not be sanctified. A person born again might prevail in prayer for weeks, months, years or never attain sanctification.

My belief is the new birth is a work from above according to the will of the Father and can’t be forfeited while sanctification is a cooperative work of the new born seeking his sanctification.

Sanctification can be resisted and denied. Once sanctified does not guarantee one to be eternally sanctified.
