I was reading about sanctification from two different perspectives. The Lutheran perspective sees sanctification as a monergistic act of God along with justification in which the believer does not participate in his own salvation but is sanctified through the Holy Spirit. However, the Reformed perspective sees it as a progressive event in which God is the initiator and sustainer of sanctification but that the person also contributes to it in some small manner.

So what do you think is sanctification totally monergistic or synergistic, or both?

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
