  1. The modern deemphasis by many advocates of Keswick theology upon the problem of and the possibility of church members being unconverted, or people who are simply professing Christians being unconverted, follows in the footsteps of Mrs. Smith's teaching.

    There is also a subtle but real difference between seeking sanctification for the glory of God and seeking it so that one can feel happy, one that is also often missed, IMO, among many advocates of Keswick.

  2. The true sanctified life of a born-again saint of God must be manifest in the mortal flesh and this manifestation is found in such passages as Philippians 3:8-10, 2 Corinthians 4:6-11, Galatians 2:20 and others. It is best quantified by 2 Timothy 3:12 in that "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."

    The "feel good" philosophy and vain deceit of women "teachers" such as this, who would pervert the truth of the scriptures (add the modern day Marilyn Hickey to that list) is foolishness and is the typical life a carnal, Laodicean mentality. "This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
