Once Sanctified Always Sanctified? (OSAS)

For those who believe in sanctification as a one-time event that occurs after a person gets saved, what do you say of someone who is sanctified, but then falls into sin. The sin could be bearing false witness against his neighbor, adultery, theft, or one of any number of sins.

What would you say? Would you say he lost his sanctification? Would he need to be sanctified again? Would you say he never was really sanctified to begin with? (Reminds me of Baptists and the other kind of OSAS.)

This topic came up in a discussion with brother Melvin Harter, and I would still be interested in what he has to say.

Have you ever encountered someone who was so convinced he had never sinned after a certain point of time, that he just wouldn’t confess his sins or admit he was wrong?
