Dr. Marty Marriott deals with a serious error of understanding taught by a prominent preacher on 1 Tim 4.16. The error involves a misunderstanding of the word 'salvation' in its context in this verse. The verse is a serious call to men in the ministry to holy living and teaching for the benefit of sanctification of the people to whom they minister. In this context, it is sanctification that is in view, and the preacher's obligation is to provide a clear example of what that sanctification is supposed to look like.
