Harmon A. Baldwin addresses the various reasons for opposition to the doctrine and experience of entire sanctification. Some oppose due to false ideas of holiness standards, while others fail to comprehend the concept despite clear explanations. Faulty theology, misled by skeptical teachers, focusing on men instead of God's word, and misunderstanding the breadth of redemption also contribute to opposition. Additionally, some resist holiness because they underestimate God's power to transform and prefer to hold onto sin, which opposes the holiness of God.
