From a book written by stephen robinson, believing christ. "When we become one with Christ in the gospel covenant,, we gain access to his perfection." "I mean that from the moment the partnership (with Christ) in good faith, from the moment we have sincere faith in Christ, sincerely repent of our sins, receive baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost- from this moment the partnership is Celestial." the author goes on to explain that the covenant partnership is not individual perfection, which comes much later thru faith and obedience, but is the perfection in Christ thu which we receive the benefit of Christ, our partner's perfection. at any rate i recommend the book
