Do we accept that our good Southern Baptist brethren are going to heaven without being sanctified? They preach against holiness doctrines and holiness people.
If you have a good SB friend how do you believe he/she is going to heaven?

Why would you think that someone is unsanctified because he is Southern Baptists. I’m sure you could find some drunk person on the side of the street who claims to be Southern Baptist. But when I was about 17, I also worked with a tile layer who claimed he wanted to be a Church of God preacher, but then came to work along with his out-of-state co-workers who’d been staying in a hotel, telling about picking up some woman in a bar and sleeping with her, giving a bunch of details. I asked him, “So you want to be a preacher? Don’t you see a problem with picking up a woman in a bar and sleeping with her?”

SB teach that all you need to go to heaven is to be born again. It is all a work of God’s grace. They do believe in a progressive sanctification which is inclusive with regeneration.
I attended a large SB church for 10 years and I know they are not sanctified! by experience and years of listening to them.

Acts 16:31

Without holiness no man shall see the Lord.

This isn’t about COG

No, I wouldn’t say that Baptist people who will receive a good resurrection are unsanctified. Can you show me a quote from a Baptist preacher that promotes not being sanctified?

What does a good sanctification have to do with a good resurrection?
We are predestined to calling, justification and glorification but sanctification is not mentioned. Our sanctification is not predestined.

Charles Page, I use language about the resurrection rather than ‘going to heaven’ to be consistent with the language of the Bible rather than cultural Christianity.
The Bible says without holiness no man shall see the Lord.

The bodily resurrection takes place followed by judgement and then a grand entrance into heaven.
Our seeing the Lord starts in this life. We have to be born again in order to see and enter the kingdom.
