Editing Sanctification in Christianity (section)

===Pentecostalism===
There are two Pentecostal positions on sanctification, entire sanctification and progressive sanctification.<ref>Roger E. Olson, ''The Westminster Handbook to Evangelical Theology'', Westminster John Knox Press, USA, 2004, p. 319</ref>

[[Christian Perfection|Entire sanctification]] as a second work of grace, is the position of Pentecostal denominations that originally had their roots in Wesleyan-Arminian theology, such as [[Apostolic Faith Church]], [[Calvary Holiness Association]], [[International Pentecostal Holiness Church]], [[Church of God (Cleveland)]] and [[Church of God in Christ]].<ref>James Leo Garrett, ''Systematic Theology, Volume 2, Second Edition'', Wipf and Stock Publishers, USA, 2014, p. 395; "Those branches of the Pentecostal movement in the United States which arose from the Holiness movement have retained the Wesleyan doctrine of entire sanctification and made baptism in or with the Spirit to be the third essential experience (e.g., Church of God, Cleveland, Tenn., Pentecostal Holiness Church, and Church of God in Christ)."</ref> These denominations differ from the Methodist Churches (inclusive of the Holiness Movement) in that they teach the possibility of a third work of grace—glossolalia.<ref name="TWTHS2002">{{cite book|title=The West Tennessee Historical Society Papers - Issue 56 |year=2002|publisher=West Tennessee Historical Society.|language=en|page=41|quote=Seymour's holiness background suggests that Pentecostalism had roots in the holiness movement of the late nineteenth century. The holiness movement embraced the Wesleyan doctrine of "sanctification" or the second work of grace, subsequent to conversion. Pentecostalism added a third work of grace, called the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which is often accompanied by glossolalia.}}</ref>

Progressive sanctification is the work of sanctification of the believer through [[Grace in Christianity|grace]] and the decisions of the believer after the [[new birth]].<ref name="Roger E. Olson 2004, p. 319"/> This is the position of other Pentecostal denominations, such as [[Assemblies of God]] and [[The Foursquare Church]].<ref>James Leo Garrett, ''Systematic Theology, Volume 2, Second Edition'', Wipf and Stock Publishers, USA, 2014, p. 395; "those branches which derived from Baptist or Reformed roots have taught positional and progressive sanctification as distinguishable from baptism in or with the Spirit (e.g., Assemblies of God, International Church of the Foursquare Gospel)."</ref>
