Doctrinal Statement:
"We believe that entire sanctification is that work of grace wrought in the human heart by the Holy Ghost whereby the heart is cleansed and purified from the original nature of sin and filled with perfect love; that this work of grace is wrought instantaneously by faith subsequent to regeneration and is attested by the Holy Ghost; that it is not merely an imputed work but is imparted to the believer; that the heart of the person experiencing this work of grace is thus sanctified, baptized with the Holy Ghost, purified, filled with the Holy Ghost, or filled with perfect love."
