Sauti ya Kipindi HikiThe Voice of This Unit

Kipindi hiki kimeandikwa kutoka ndani ya mapokeo ya Kipentekoste ya kiklasiki (classical), kwa ajili ya wanafunzi walio ndani yake. Ni cha kihafidhina na cha Utatu. Kuhusu somo hili mapokeo yetu hayana msimamo mmoja. Misimamo yote miwili, ya Wesleyan-Utakatifu na ya Kazi Iliyokamilika, inashikiliwa ndani ya Upentekoste wa kiklasiki na madhehebu waaminifu yanayoamini Biblia. Kwa hiyo tunawasilisha yote mawili kama imani hai, pamoja na hoja zao bora, na hatukuombi uache familia moja uingie nyingine. Kozi ya 1, Kipindi cha 4 ilieleza jinsi mgawanyiko ulivyotokea katika historia. Hapa tunauliza Biblia inafundisha nini na jinsi kila upande unavyoisoma.This unit is written from inside the classical Pentecostal tradition, for students who belong to it. It is conservative and Trinitarian. On this subject our tradition is not of one mind. Both the Wesleyan-Holiness and the Finished Work views are held within classical Pentecostalism by faithful, Bible-believing denominations. We therefore present both as living convictions, with their best arguments, and we do not ask you to leave one family for the other. Course 1, Unit 4 told how the division arose in history. Here we ask what the Bible teaches and how each side reads it.

Utakaso Maana Yake Nini KibibliaWhat the Bible Means by Sanctification

Neno "kutakasa" humaanisha kutenga kwa ajili ya Mungu na kufanya mtakatifu. Katika Maandiko lina pande kadhaa.The word "sanctify" means to set apart for God and to make holy. In Scripture it has several sides.

Ni mapenzi ya Mungu. "Maana haya ndiyo mapenzi ya Mungu, kutakaswa kwenu" (1 Wathesalonike 4:3). Utakatifu si nyongeza kwa waumini maalum. Mwandishi wa Waebrania anasema, "Fuateni amani na watu wote, na utakatifu, ambao hapana mtu atakayemwona Bwana asipokuwa nao" (Waebrania 12:14).It is God's will. "For this is the will of God, your sanctification" (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Holiness is not an extra for special believers. The writer to the Hebrews says, "Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14).

Tayari ni wetu katika Kristo. Paulo anawaandikia Wakorintho, waliokuwa na makosa mengi, "Na baadhi yenu mlikuwa watu wa namna hii; lakini mlioshwa, lakini mlitakaswa, lakini mlihesabiwa haki kwa jina la Bwana Yesu Kristo na kwa Roho wa Mungu wetu" (1 Wakorintho 6:11). Kristo "alifanywa kwetu hekima itokayo kwa Mungu, na haki, na utakaso, na ukombozi" (1 Wakorintho 1:30). Waumini wametengwa kwa kazi ya Kristo.It is already ours in Christ. Paul writes to the Corinthians, who had many faults, "And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:11). Christ "became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption" (1 Corinthians 1:30). Believers are set apart by the work of Christ.

Pia ni mchakato. "Maana, kwa sadaka moja amewakamilisha milele wale wanaotakaswa" (Waebrania 10:14). Mstari huu unazungumza juu ya kazi iliyokamilika na juu ya ukuaji unaoendelea katika sentensi moja. Paulo anasema juu yake mwenyewe, "Si kwamba nimekwisha kupata haya, au nimekwisha kuwa mkamilifu; lakini nafuatia" (Wafilipi 3:12).It is also a process. "For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified" (Hebrews 10:14). The verse speaks of a finished work and of a continuing growth in the same sentence. Paul says of himself, "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on" (Philippians 3:12).

Ni kazi ya Utatu. Baba hutakasa (1 Wathesalonike 5:23). Damu ya Mwana hutufanya watakatifu, na Yesu anaomba, "Uwatakase kwa ile kweli; neno lako ndiyo kweli" (Yohana 17:17). Roho hufanya kazi ndani yetu kila siku.It is the work of the Trinity. The Father sanctifies (1 Thessalonians 5:23). The Son's blood makes us holy, and Jesus prays, "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth" (John 17:17). The Spirit works in us daily.

Kila Mpentekoste anakubaliana na yote haya. Mgogoro ni jinsi upande wa pili na wa tatu unavyolingana, na kama kuna wakati wa hakika, unaoweza kuwekewa tarehe, baada ya kuongoka ambapo tamaa za dhambi husafishwa.Every Pentecostal agrees with all of this. The disagreement is about how the second and third sides fit together, and whether there is a definite, datable moment after conversion when sinful desires are cleansed.

Msingi wa PamojaCommon Ground

Kabla ya kueleza misimamo miwili, tunapaswa kuona ni kiasi gani pande zote mbili zinashiriki.Before we describe the two views, we should see how much both sides share.

1. Utakatifu unahitajika. Petro anaandika, "Mtakuwa watakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi ni mtakatifu" (1 Petro 1:16). Hakuna msimamo unaoruhusu Wakristo kuishi wapendavyo.1. Holiness is required. Peter writes, "Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16). Neither view allows Christians to live as they please.

2. Wokovu ni kwa neema kwa njia ya imani katika dhabihu iliyokamilika ya Kristo. Hakuna anayepata utakatifu kwa juhudi peke yake.2. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ's finished sacrifice. No one earns holiness by effort alone.

3. Ubatizo katika Roho si sawa na utakaso. Kipindi cha 4 kilieleza kwamba ubatizo katika Roho ni kwa ajili ya nguvu ya kushuhudia. Kuwa na nguvu na kuwa mtakatifu ni mambo tofauti. Wakorintho walikuwa na karama na bado hawakuwa wakomavu.3. Spirit baptism is not the same as sanctification. Unit 4 explained that Spirit baptism is for power to witness. Having power and being holy are different things. The Corinthians had the gifts and were still immature.

4. Kunena kwa lugha si uthibitisho wa utakatifu. Kipindi cha 5 kilisema hili wazi.4. Tongues are not proof of holiness. Unit 5 said this clearly.

5. Wakristo lazima waendelee kukua hadi Bwana atakaporudi. Hata upande wa Utakatifu hausemi kwamba ukuaji huisha.5. Christians must keep growing until the Lord returns. Even the Holiness side does not say that growth ends.

Kwa msingi huu wa pamoja, tueleze misimamo miwili.With this shared base, let us describe the two views.

Msimamo wa Wesleyan-Utakatifu (Wesleyan-Holiness)The Wesleyan-Holiness View

MafundishoThe teaching

John Wesley alifundisha kwamba waumini wangeweza kufanywa wakamilifu katika upendo katika maisha haya. Aliita hili ukamilifu wa Kikristo au utakaso kamili (entire sanctification). Hakumaanisha kwamba mwumini hangeweza kukosea au kuwa na udhaifu. Alimaanisha moyo uliojazwa upendo kwa Mungu na jirani kiasi kwamba dhambi haitawali tena. Baadaye, harakati ya Utakatifu ya miaka ya 1800 ilifundisha kwamba hili linaweza kupokelewa kwa imani katika uzoefu maalumu wa uamuzi baada ya kuongoka, mara nyingi ukiitwa "baraka ya pili." Kozi ya 1, Kipindi cha 2 ilieleza mizizi hii.John Wesley taught that believers could be made perfect in love in this life. He called this Christian perfection or entire sanctification. He did not mean that a believer could not make mistakes or have weaknesses. He meant a heart so filled with love for God and neighbor that sin no longer rules it. Later, the Holiness movement of the 1800s taught that this could be received by faith in a definite crisis experience after conversion, often called "the second blessing." Course 1, Unit 2 described these roots.

Mashirika ya Kipentekoste yaliyokua kutoka harakati ya Utakatifu yalishikilia fundisho hili na kuongeza ubatizo katika Roho. Husema juu ya kazi tatu za neema: kuzaliwa upya, utakaso kamili, na ubatizo katika Roho Mtakatifu. Mifano ni pamoja na Pentecostal Holiness Church (sasa International Pentecostal Holiness Church), Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) na Church of God in Christ. Taarifa zao rasmi zimesema kwamba utakaso ni kazi inayofuata kuzaliwa upya, ingawa jinsi wanavyoliandika imebadilika baada ya muda.The Pentecostal bodies that grew from the Holiness movement kept this teaching and added Spirit baptism. They speak of three works of grace: new birth, entire sanctification, and baptism in the Holy Spirit. Examples include the Pentecostal Holiness Church (now the International Pentecostal Holiness Church), the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) and the Church of God in Christ. Their official statements have said that sanctification is a work subsequent to new birth, though the way they word it has varied over time.

Hoja ya kibibliaThe biblical case

Wapentekoste wa Utakatifu huonyesha maandiko haya.Holiness Pentecostals point to these texts.

• Sala ya Paulo: "Mungu wa amani mwenyewe awatakase kabisa" (1 Wathesalonike 5:23). Neno "kabisa" linaashiria usafi kamili na si uboreshaji wa polepole tu.• Paul's prayer: "may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely" (1 Thessalonians 5:23). The word "completely" suggests a thorough cleansing and not only a slow improvement.

• Amri ya Yesu: "Basi, kuweni ninyi wakamilifu, kama Baba yenu wa mbinguni alivyo mkamilifu" (Mathayo 5:48). Mungu hangeamuru asichokiwezesha.• Jesus' command: "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). God would not command what He does not enable.

• Lugha ya Warumi 6 kuhusu kuwa "wafu kwa dhambi" na kujitoa kwa Mungu, ambayo wanaisoma kama mwito wa tendo la hakika la kujitoa wakfu. Paulo anasema, "Vivyo hivyo nanyi jihesabuni kuwa wafu kwa dhambi, bali hai kwa Mungu, katika Kristo Yesu" (Warumi 6:11).• The language in Romans 6 about being "dead indeed to sin" and presenting ourselves to God, which they read as calling for a decisive act of consecration. Paul says, "Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:11).

• Uzoefu wa watakatifu wengi, wanaoshuhudia wakati wazi ambapo Bwana alishughulikia mapambano ya ndani.• The experience of many saints, who testify to a clear moment when the Lord dealt with an inner struggle.

Wasiwasi waoTheir concern

Upande wa Utakatifu unahuzunika Wakristo wanapoambiwa kwamba kuongoka ndiko wanachohitaji tu kisha wanaishi kwa uzembe. Hofu yao ni kwamba bila uzoefu maalumu wa pili, waumini hutosheka na kiwango cha chini. Pia wanashikilia kwamba ubatizo katika Roho hupokelewa vyema na chombo kilicho safi.The Holiness side is troubled when Christians are told that conversion is all they need and then live in carelessness. Their fear is that without a second crisis, believers settle for a lower standard. They also hold that Spirit baptism is best received by a clean vessel.

Msimamo wa Kazi Iliyokamilika (Finished Work)The Finished Work View

MafundishoThe teaching

Mwaka 1910, William H. Durham, mchungaji huko Chicago, alianza kuhubiri kile alichokiita Kazi Iliyokamilika ya Kalvari. Alifundisha kwamba mtu anapozaliwa mara ya pili, mwumini anatakaswa katika Kristo, kwa sababu kazi ya Kristo msalabani imekamilika. Baada ya hapo, utakaso ni maisha ya ukuaji, ambapo mwumini kila siku huua asili ya kale kwa nguvu za Roho. Ubatizo katika Roho basi ni zawadi tofauti kwa ajili ya nguvu. Mafundisho ya Durham yalienea sana. Assemblies of God ilipoundwa mwaka 1914, ilichukua msimamo wa Kazi Iliyokamilika, na mashirika mengine mengi ya Kipentekoste ulimwenguni pia yameushikilia. Kozi ya 1, Kipindi cha 4 ilieleza jinsi mgogoro uligawanya harakati ya mwanzo.In 1910, William H. Durham, a pastor in Chicago, began to preach what he called the Finished Work of Calvary. He taught that when a person is born again, the believer is sanctified in Christ, because Christ's work on the cross is complete. After that, sanctification is a life of growth, in which the believer daily puts to death the old nature by the Spirit's power. Spirit baptism is then a separate gift for power. Durham's teaching spread widely. When the Assemblies of God was formed in 1914, it took the Finished Work position, and many other Pentecostal bodies around the world have also held it. Course 1, Unit 4 told how the dispute divided the early movement.

Wapentekoste wa Kazi Iliyokamilika hawajiiti walegevu kuhusu utakatifu. Huzungumza juu ya utakaso wa kimsimamo (positional sanctification) (kile Kristo alichotufanyia wakati wa kuongoka) na utakaso wa kuendelea (progressive sanctification) (ukuaji wa maisha yote unaofuata). Wanakataa wazo la uzoefu maalumu wa pili unaoondoa asili ya dhambi.Finished Work Pentecostals do not call themselves lax about holiness. They speak of positional sanctification (what Christ has done for us at conversion) and progressive sanctification (the lifelong growth that follows). They reject the idea of a second crisis that removes the sinful nature.

Hoja ya kibibliaThe biblical case

Wapentekoste wa Kazi Iliyokamilika huonyesha maandiko haya.Finished Work Pentecostals point to these texts.

• 1 Wakorintho 1:30 na 6:11, ambapo utakaso unaunganishwa na kuongoka na kusemwa kuwa tayari ni kweli kwa waumini wote, hata wasio wakomavu.• 1 Corinthians 1:30 and 6:11, where sanctification is joined to conversion and spoken of as already true of all believers, even immature ones.

• Waebrania 10:14, ambapo sadaka moja "imewakamilisha milele" na bado waumini "wanatakaswa." Kazi moja, yenye ukuaji unaoendelea.• Hebrews 10:14, where one offering has "perfected forever" and yet believers are "being sanctified." One work, with ongoing growth.

• 1 Yohana 1:8: "Tukisema ya kwamba hatuna dhambi, twajidanganya wenyewe, wala kweli haimo mwetu." Wanaisoma hii kama onyo dhidi ya kudai kwamba asili ya dhambi imeondoka.• 1 John 1:8: "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." They read this as warning against claiming that the sinful nature is gone.

• Maneno ya Paulo mwenyewe: "Si kwamba nimekwisha kupata haya, au nimekwisha kuwa mkamilifu" (Wafilipi 3:12). Ikiwa hata Paulo alifuatia, hakuna mwumini anayepaswa kudai amefika.• Paul's own words: "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected" (Philippians 3:12). If even Paul pressed on, no believer should claim to have arrived.

Wasiwasi waoTheir concern

Upande wa Kazi Iliyokamilika unahuzunika wokovu unapoonekana kutegemea uzoefu wa baadaye, au waumini wanapofanywa kuwa na wasiwasi kama "wameupokea." Wanataka kuuweka msalaba katikati, na kumfanya kila mwumini awe na hakika katika kazi iliyokamilika ya Kristo.The Finished Work side is troubled when salvation seems to depend on a later experience, or when believers are made anxious about whether they have "received it." They want to keep the cross at the center, and to keep every believer confident in Christ's completed work.

Tofauti KuuThe Main Difference

Kwa ufupi, swali ni hili: Je, kuna kazi ya pili ya hakika, baada ya kuongoka, ambapo Mungu husafisha moyo kutoka dhambi ya ndani, au utakaso huanza wakati wa kuongoka na huendelezwa maisha yote?Put simply, the question is this: Is there a definite second work, after conversion, in which God cleanses the heart from inward sin, or is sanctification begun at conversion and carried on throughout life?

Jibu la Wesleyan-Utakatifu ni ndiyo kwa la kwanza. Jibu la Kazi Iliyokamilika ni ndiyo kwa la pili. Pande zote mbili zinakubali Mwokozi yule yule, Roho yule yule, Biblia ile ile na mwito ule ule wa maisha matakatifu. Hii ni tofauti ndani ya familia moja, na tunapaswa kuichukulia hivyo. Makutaniko mengi pande zote mbili yamefanya kazi bega kwa bega katika misheni na ushirika.The Wesleyan-Holiness answer is yes to the first. The Finished Work answer is yes to the second. Both sides affirm the same Savior, the same Spirit, the same Bible and the same call to holy living. This is a difference within one family, and we should treat it as such. Many congregations on both sides have worked side by side in missions and fellowship.

Jinsi Wageni Wanavyouona MjadalaHow Outsiders See the Debate

Wapentekoste si wa pekee waliofikiri kuhusu utakaso, na Wakristo wengine huuliza maswali yao kuhusu misimamo yote miwili.Pentecostals are not the only ones to have thought about sanctification, and other Christians raise their own questions about both views.

Ukosoaji wa Warekebisho (Reformed). Walimu wa Warekebisho na wainjilisti wengine wengi wanashikilia kwamba utakaso unaendelea kutoka kuongoka hadi mwisho wa maisha, na kwamba hakuna anayefikia hali katika maisha haya ambapo dhambi imeondolewa. Wanakosoa msimamo wa Utakatifu wa uzoefu maalumu wa pili kuwa na msaada hafifu katika Agano Jipya, na kuhatarisha kiburi au kukata tamaa watu wasipofikia walichoahidiwa.The Reformed critique. Reformed and many other evangelical teachers hold that sanctification is progressive from conversion to the end of life, and that no one reaches a state in this life where sin is removed. They criticize the Holiness view of a second crisis as having little clear support in the New Testament, and as risking pride or despair when people do not reach what they were promised.

Msimamo wa Keswick. Mafundisho ya Keswick, ambayo Kozi ya 1 iliyaeleza, yalizungumza juu ya "maisha ya juu zaidi" ya kujisalimisha na ushindi, lakini kwa kawaida si juu ya kuondolewa kwa asili ya dhambi. Yaliwaathiri Wapentekoste wengi wa mwanzo.The Keswick view. Keswick teaching, which Course 1 described, spoke of a "higher life" of surrender and victory, yet usually not of the removal of the sinful nature. It influenced many early Pentecostals.

Ukosoaji wa msimamo wa Kazi Iliyokamilika. Baadhi ya sauti za Utakatifu na wengine husema kwamba msimamo wa Kazi Iliyokamilika unaweza kuruhusu waumini kuridhika na dhambi, mradi tu wanaamini ni watakatifu kwa msimamo wao katika Kristo.The criticism of the Finished Work view. Some Holiness voices and others say that the Finished Work position can allow believers to be content with sin, as long as they believe they are positionally holy.

Jibu la Kipentekoste. Kwa wakosoaji wa Warekebisho, familia zetu zote mbili zinajibu kwamba utakatifu si hiari na ni kazi ya Roho, na kwamba amri za Maandiko za kuwa watakatifu zinaonyesha kwamba Mungu anatarajia mabadiliko halisi. Upande wa Utakatifu unaongeza kwamba Agano Jipya linazungumza juu ya usafishaji unaozidi ukuaji tu. Upande wa Kazi Iliyokamilika unakubaliana na mengi ambayo Warekebisho wanasema kuhusu ukuaji wa kuendelea, na hauoni sababu kwa nini hili linaufanya usiwe wa Kipentekoste kidogo, kwa kuwa ubatizo katika Roho ni uwezeshaji tofauti. Kwa ukosoaji wa maisha ya uzembe, upande wa Kazi Iliyokamilika unajibu kwamba mafundisho yake yenyewe yanadai kufa kila siku kwa dhambi, na kwamba wachungaji wanaoyafundisha wanapaswa kufundisha utakatifu kwa uthabiti. Kwa ukosoaji wa ukamilifu usio wa kweli (perfectionism), upande wa Utakatifu unajibu kwamba Wesley mwenyewe alifundisha upendo kamilifu na si uhuru kutoka kwa udhaifu, na kwamba wachungaji wanapaswa kuufundisha kwa uangalifu na wasiwabebeshe watu madai ya uongo.Pentecostal reply. To the Reformed critics, both of our families answer that holiness is not optional and is the Spirit's work, and that Scripture's commands to be holy show that God expects real change. The Holiness side adds that the New Testament speaks of cleansing that goes beyond mere growth. The Finished Work side agrees with much that the Reformed say about progressive growth, and sees no reason why this makes it less Pentecostal, since Spirit baptism is a separate empowering. To the criticism of lax living, the Finished Work side answers that its own teaching demands daily death to sin, and that pastors who teach it should teach holiness firmly. To the criticism of perfectionism, the Holiness side answers that Wesley himself taught perfect love and not freedom from weakness, and that pastors should teach this carefully and not burden people with false claims.

Tunatambua kwamba kuhusu somo hili walimu wanaomcha Mungu wataendelea kutokubaliana hadi Bwana atakaporudi. Sala ya Paulo katika mstari wetu mkuu ni ile ambayo sote tunaiomba: kwamba Mungu mwenyewe atutakase kabisa, na atuhifadhi bila lawama hadi kuja kwake.We recognize that on this subject godly teachers will go on disagreeing until the Lord returns. Paul's prayer in our key verse is one that all of us pray: that God Himself would sanctify us completely, and keep us blameless until His coming.

Mafundisho ya Vitendo kwa WachungajiPractical Teaching for Pastors

Msimamo wa kanisa lako wowote ulio, hatua hizi zinasaidia.Whatever your church's position, these steps help.

1. Jua taarifa ya dhehebu lako mwenyewe na uifundishe kwa uwazi. Usiiombee msamaha, na usiitumie kama silaha dhidi ya wengine.1. Know your own denomination's statement and teach it clearly. Do not apologize for it, and do not use it as a weapon against others.

2. Fundisha msalaba. Utakatifu huanza na yale Kristo aliyoyafanya.2. Teach the cross. Holiness begins with what Christ has done.

3. Fundisha Neno na Roho pamoja. "Uwatakase kwa ile kweli" (Yohana 17:17).3. Teach the Word and the Spirit together. "Sanctify them by Your truth" (John 17:17).

4. Jihadhari na makosa mawili. Moja ni sheria kali: kuchukulia kanuni kuhusu mavazi au desturi kama kipimo cha utakatifu. Lingine ni uzembe: kuchukulia neema kama ruhusa ya kutenda dhambi.4. Beware of two errors. One is legalism: treating rules about clothing or customs as the measure of holiness. The other is carelessness: treating grace as permission to sin.

5. Usiwahukumu washiriki kwa uzoefu mmoja. Tazama upendo wao, ukweli, msamaha na uaminifu.5. Do not judge members by a single experience. Look at their love, truthfulness, forgiveness and faithfulness.

6. Wakaribishe waumini kutoka upande mwingine. Mchungaji wa Utakatifu na mchungaji wa Kazi Iliyokamilika wanaweza kushirikiana katika maombi na misheni.6. Welcome believers from the other side. A Holiness pastor and a Finished Work pastor can cooperate in prayer and mission.

Matumizi ya KichungajiPastoral Application

Mtu mmoja aitwaye Tomás amekuwa mwumini kwa miaka miwili. Ana hasira ya haraka, na amepoteza uvumilivu na familia yake hivi karibuni. Anakuja kwa mchungaji akilia, akisema, "Nilijazwa Roho mwaka jana, lakini bado nina hasira. Kuna kitu kibaya kwangu."A man named Tomás has been a believer for two years. He has a quick temper, and he has just lost his temper with his family. He comes to the pastor in tears, saying, "I was filled with the Spirit last year, but I am still angry. Something must be wrong with me."

Mchungaji akiwa wa kanisa la Utakatifu, anaweza kumwambia Tomás kwamba Bwana anaahidi kushughulikia mizizi ya hasira, na kumwalika alete hitaji hili kwa Bwana kwa kujitoa wakfu kwa unyenyekevu, akimwomba Mungu usafi na akiamini ahadi yake.If the pastor belongs to a Holiness church, he may tell Tomás that the Lord promises to deal with the roots of anger, and invite him to bring this need to the Lord in humble consecration, asking God for cleansing and trusting His promise.

Mchungaji akiwa wa kanisa la Kazi Iliyokamilika, anaweza kumwambia Tomás kwamba tayari ametakaswa katika Kristo, na kwamba Roho sasa anamsaidia kuua tabia za zamani kila siku, kwa toba, maombi, uwajibikaji na Neno.If the pastor belongs to a Finished Work church, he may tell Tomás that he is already sanctified in Christ, and that the Spirit now helps him to put to death the old habits daily, with repentance, prayer, accountability and the Word.

Katika kanisa lolote, mchungaji hufanya yafuatayo. Anasikiliza bila kuhukumu. Anaeleza kwamba kujazwa Roho kwa ajili ya nguvu hakumalizi kila kasoro peke yake. Anamwelekeza Tomás kwa msamaha wa Kristo (1 Yohana 1:9). Anamhimiza aombe msamaha wa familia yake, na anatembea kando yake katika maombi na hatua za vitendo. Mchungaji kamwe hamwambii Tomás kwamba hasira yake inathibitisha kwamba hakujazwa, wala kwamba kunena kwake kwa lugha hakuna maana.In either church, the pastor does the following. He listens without condemning. He explains that being filled with the Spirit for power does not by itself end every fault. He points Tomás to Christ's forgiveness (1 John 1:9). He urges him to ask his family's forgiveness, and he walks beside him in prayer and practical steps. The pastor never tells Tomás that his anger proves he was never filled, nor that his tongues have no meaning.

MuhtasariSummary

Utakaso humaanisha kutengwa kwa ajili ya Mungu na kufanywa mtakatifu. Ni mapenzi ya Mungu, tayari ni wetu katika Kristo, ni mchakato, na ni kazi ya Utatu. Familia zote mbili za Kipentekoste za kiklasiki zinakubaliana kwamba utakatifu unahitajika, kwamba wokovu ni kwa neema, na kwamba ubatizo katika Roho si sawa na utakaso. Msimamo wa Wesleyan-Utakatifu, unaoshikiliwa na mashirika kama Pentecostal Holiness Church, Church of God (Cleveland) na Church of God in Christ, hufundisha kazi ya pili ya hakika ya utakaso kamili baada ya kuongoka, kisha ubatizo katika Roho kama wa tatu. Msimamo wa Kazi Iliyokamilika, uliofundishwa na William H. Durham tangu 1910 na kushikiliwa na Assemblies of God tangu 1914, hufundisha kwamba waumini hutakaswa katika Kristo wakati wa kuongoka na hukua hatua kwa hatua, huku ubatizo katika Roho ukiwa uwezeshaji tofauti. Warekebisho, wa Keswick na wakosoaji wengine huhoji uzoefu maalumu wa pili, na baadhi ya sauti za Utakatifu huhoji msimamo wa Kazi Iliyokamilika. Pande zote mbili hujibu kutoka Maandiko. Wachungaji wanapaswa kufundisha mapokeo yao wenyewe kwa uwazi, kuheshimu la mwingine, na daima kuhubiri msalaba na maisha matakatifu.Sanctification means being set apart for God and made holy. It is God's will, it is ours already in Christ, it is a process, and it is the work of the Trinity. Both classical Pentecostal families agree that holiness is required, that salvation is by grace, and that Spirit baptism is not the same as sanctification. The Wesleyan-Holiness view, held by bodies such as the Pentecostal Holiness Church, the Church of God (Cleveland) and the Church of God in Christ, teaches a second definite work of entire sanctification after conversion, and then Spirit baptism as a third. The Finished Work view, taught by William H. Durham from 1910 and held by the Assemblies of God since 1914, teaches that believers are sanctified in Christ at conversion and grow progressively, with Spirit baptism as a separate empowerment. Reformed, Keswick and other critics question the second crisis, and some Holiness voices question the Finished Work view. Both sides reply from Scripture. Pastors should teach their own tradition clearly, honor the other, and always preach the cross and a holy life.
