Subject: I have a related question for anyone... |
Bible Note: Sorry Steve! I'm trying to work on a web site at the same time that I am responding to the forum! :-) You wrote: "I could see the unbeliever "sanctified" in the same way as an unbeliever is "bought" in 2 Peter 2:1. There is a work done but not truly acquired." Assuming that Heb. 10:29 is referring to someone who was sanctified, but had not truly acquired it, how would it then relate to the question of election? In other words, does God partially sanctify anyone, and does He sanctify anyone who isn't elect? My take on it is simply that he had already been sanctified, since it is a aorist passive verb, and that he has now rejected Christ's sacrifice. Oh well, back to work!
