"We believe that Sanctification is the process by which, according to the will of God, we are made partakers of His holiness; that it is a progressive work; that it is begun at regeneration; and that it is varied on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the Sealer and Comforter, in the continual use of the appointed means- especially the Word of God, self examination, self denial, watchfulness and prayer." ~The New Hampshire Baptist Confession 1833
