John, who specifically are you talking about when you talk about those "who claim sinless perfectionism"? Although I have been erroneously accused of this on the list, you know that I have clarified that this label does not apply to my position. I don't think there is anyone on this list that uses this label, so I can only assume that you have someone in mind that is not in this forum. Can you tell us a little more about these sinless perfectionists you know? I'm intrigued by your comment because the sinless perfectionists I have known do not believe in the "power of the Indwelling" as being how a person overcomes sin. All of the sinful perfectionists in history that I have read about also do not believe in this power of the Indwelling being necessary. They are Pelagianists who do not believe in the sinful nature of man. They believe that man simply chooses to do what is right. Do you know some sinful perfectionists that believe in sinless perfectionism by the power of the Indwelling? Who are they? Where do they live? Tell us more about their beliefs. Do any of them have a web site or articles that we can read? Peace be with you.
