This video is a part three of a series of discussions between Costi Hinn and Jeremy Vuolo. The first two dealt with decision making and dating. This time around, Hinn and Vuolo discuss what are the differences between holiness and pietism:
It is as certain as anything in the Bible that without holiness, no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). It is equally certain that holiness is the consistent fruit of saving faith, the real test of regeneration, the only sound evidence of indwelling…

Few things are more important than knowing and understanding God’s holiness.

We live in a depraved world that is against the things of God. The world wants us to conform to its image rather than the image of Christ. Christians are called to be holy. We are called to be different from the world.Here are some books on holiness th…
The very root of holiness lies in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and if we remove this and take a view grounded in more fruitfulness, we make the most astounding mistake. We have seen a fine morality, a stern integrity, a delicate purity, and, wh…
