Sanctification

Almost every time the word "Sanctification" is used in the Scriptures, "set apart unto God" is implied. Sanctification is the setting apart of a person or an object for a special purpose. The object is usually indicated in the context. Positional Sanctification is the result of baptism by means of the Holy Spirit, (1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Thessalonians 2:13). Experiential Sanctification involves the state of fellowship with God (1 Peter 1:14-15) and the process of spiritual growth (Romans 8:29; 12:2; Galatians 5:22-23), at any moment the believer is filled with the Holy Spirit. Ultimate Sanctification is the state of every believer in eternity future – (Ephesians 5:27; Philippians 3:21; 1 John 3:2). Sanctification does not indicate any particular life style or "saintly" attitude.
