IS HOLINESS A WAY OF LIVING A LIFESTYLE OR A DENOMNATION/ CHURCH?

It is most definitely a lifestyle! How any one faith/denomination could ever claim "exclusivity rights" to "holiness" would be unscriptural. The God of heaven is not a repector of persons.

Acts 10:34-35 (CEV)

Peter then said: "Now I am certain that God treats all people alike. God is pleased with everyone who worships him and does right, no matter what nation they come from."

Romans 2:10-13 (CEV)

"But all who do right will be rewarded with glory, honor, and peace, whether they are Jews or Gentiles. God doesn't have any favorites! Those people who don't know about God's Law will still be punished for what they do wrong. And the Law will be used to judge everyone who knows what it says. God accepts those who obey his Law, but not those who simply hear it."

King James Version says it like this:

Acts 10:34-35

"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him."


Romans 2:10-13

"But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified). "

I agree with Simplysaved- it's a lifestyle

The Lord said, " Be Holy, for I am Holy".

What is the definition of holiness?
