Does anyone remember Dr. John Sims, a professor at Lee College in the 1970s? I had him for several classes and really enjoyed his teaching. He believed and taught the CoG view on sanctification as a second, definite work of grace. I remember him saying that if students did not like it, they could transfer to Dr. Donald Bowdle’s class because Bowdle actually taught against the CoG position on sanctification and was promoting progressive sanctification. Read his “Redemption, Accomplished and Applied.” Bowdle was accused many times that his teaching did not align with the teachings of the CoG. Sim’s hair was black and not grey when he taught at Lee in the 1970’s.

I do agree with him on his belief that “Sanctification as second, definite work of grace.” Would love to meet him.

I wonder if the stand he took on sanctification is why he didn’t stay in Cleveland teaching and went to Europe???
