Substitutes – Completely Sanctified Life # 2 – Extraordinary Discipline

There’ve been heathen who used extreme/weird forms of discipline. Some physical, some mental, some even (what they perceived as) spiritual. Some evangelicals have lived disciplined-lives to-a-fault. Some holiness men have over-emphasized discipline.  Heathen, evangelical or holiness people either not believing God could remove carnality or never willing to let Him extract it, have relied on self-control instead. Legalism fits here. God’s mature souls have discipline but their inner calm/holiness is from God.
