 This statement appeared to teach a works-oriented eschatological soteriology.This led to an emerging which can be broadly described as "sinless perfectionists", rather than a progressive sanctification instilling the perfect character of Christ through the Holy Spirit of the living saints at the end who are sealed.This perfectionist understanding was expounded by M. L. Andreasen, in his view of "last generation" perfection and tends to be held by historic Adventism.
