Sorry to be away for so long. It's been a busy couple of weeks. However, I found a neat quote I wanted to share with you.
This quote relates to the discussion about Wesleyan theology and the use of the word perfection. Perfection does not mean perfection in action. Nor does Wesley ever say that it does. However, we wouldn't have much space for theological debate with out confusing terms like "perfection." So here is one definition of perfection that helps us understand what Wesley really meant.
"Perfection, according to Wesley, means perfection of posture -- the posture of the heart toward God. The primary matter is not the actual performance but the disposition (intention), not the result which is produced, but the genuine resolution to effect it."
