The Best Definition of the Life of Holiness

This quotation is taken from an article by Frank G. Carver published in Wesleyan Theological Journal 22.2 (Fall 1987), 7-23.
Entire sanctification can be defined as that moment in one's Christian pilgrimage when the Holy Spirit brings one all the way to grace, when in a moment of conscious faith-commitment one decisively and once for all shifts from all reliance on human strength and wisdom in 'Christian' living to a sole dependence on the Spirit of Christ for a holy life, from a confused and partially flesh-based spiritual life to a full commitment to a Spirit-grounded existence.
