Christian Perfection
The question of Christian perfection actually goes back at least as far as St. Augustine who wrote a whole treatise on this and Augustine seemed to want to have his cake and eat it. There were great movements in the 19th century of partly of Wesleyans but partly of others of Baptists etc which reckoned that you could have a second blessing or maybe a third after you've been converted. Haddon Spurgeon said so I picked up the jug and emptied it over my head and his perfection did not seem to remain very long after that. Now it is possible that there are some humans who through prayer and meditation can live with complete sinless perfection.
