In bible study this week we were in Acts 8 and when we talked about Simon who tried to buy the power of the Holy Spirit. Now the pastor who was leading the class said this was evidence of two calls (according to Simon's response in 8:24) by God, the first to faith, then another to sanctification. I had never heard this idea before but I suppose it would seem to line up with people who grew up in church and believed but didn't live like a christian until they got older when I guess they got the call of sanctification.
If anybody thinks the 2 calls thing is correct could you please share some scripture and your thoughts, likewise those who feel there is one call and it is to both or whatever else lies inbetween.
Grace be to you
