<Rev. Houck>
>>....While justification has to do with our legal state before God, sanctification has to do with our actual condition. We are freed from the guilt of sin by justification, but we are still sinners. Sin still abides within the child of God so that even the best of his good works are defiled by it. In sanctification, however, God's people are delivered from the power and dominion of sin....
<Bill Ross>
This does not appear to be scriptural to me at all.
Justification is not granted to an unrepentant sinner. God does not declare one just while that one is persisting in sin. The believer is said to be free from sin, and his actions holy and acceptable to God. Sanctification is not some future event or even process in the life of the believer. A believer is consecrated to God as they place they trust in God.
