Entire sanctification entered the Brethren in Christ from the Wesleyan holiness camp meetings of the later nineteenth century and was formally embraced by the turn of the twentieth. It teaches that after conversion a believer may receive a distinct second work of grace in which the disposition toward sin is cleansed and the heart is filled with love. It sits uneasily with the Anabaptist emphasis on lifelong obedience within a community, and Brethren in Christ statements have gradually reframed it as a process with crisis moments rather than a single instantaneous event. The tension is not resolved and shows up in every revision of the Articles of Faith. Naming it as contested here is the accurate description of a doctrine the body holds officially and debates continuously.
