The following is a partial account of a study given by Reverend H. C. Van Wormer, B. A., at a Stoneboro, Kentucky, Camp Meeting in 1975. The members of the meeting were so inspired by the Lord through his teachings that they asked for the contents to be copied into paper form. Reverend Van Wormer was a pastor and President of the Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Connection for 37 years. He was a great leader in the Holiness movement and took a huge amount of criticism, misunderstanding, and even insults, but stood firm in his beliefs. His study of spiritual holiness could possibly be one of the best ever stated on paper. Please allow me to emphasize this point: a person would have to be a spiritual person to understand his ideas of heart holiness. Then, we may not fully grasp every detail. I chose this subject because of the vast confusion that the people of faith have on the subject matter. There are many definitions and ideas, and I truly believe each and every on

Some believe there is a sanctification that is conceived when a person asks for forgiveness. Others believe it is a gradual process. This could be proven in Hebrews 6:1, (KJV) which states, "Let us go unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works." It is my belief, that the foundation must be well laid at first, and then built upon. Sanctification begins in the new birth, which is initial sanctification. A principle of righteousness is put within the soul of a saved individual. He has the power, through his Savior, to love righteousness and to live according to God's standard.

This is the great change, which God works in the soul when He brings it unto life.

This gift is from God, and we cannot take it lightly. As we move toward our goal, let us remember one another in prayer and keep up the good faith. Although this is just a short part of the concept of Holiness, I pray that this paper has been of some help to you, the reader, as it has been for me. This book by Reverend Van Wormer has caused me to search my own heart for impurities. Our God has called us unto Holiness. Let us make every effort to do so. This could very well be the avenue through the straight and narrow path. May God Bless You, and may all the glory be given to Him.
