To Make Holy John 17:19 Excerpt The vb. ἁγιάζω [ 'to make holy' ] is used 17 times pass. and 11 times act. The following are made holy or are holy (pass.): the name of God ( Matt 6:9 par . Luke 11:2 ); those who believe ( John 17:19b ; Acts 20:32 ; 26:18 ; 1 Cor 1:2 ; 6:11 ; 7:14 [twice]; 2 Tim 2:21 ), who are all consecrated through the one Son ( Heb 2:11b ; cf. 10:10 , 14 ); everything which God has created ( 1 Tim 4:5 ); and, finally, Christ himself, who is consecrated through the blood of the covenant ( Heb 10:29 [referring to Exod 24:8 ]). In pass. constructions God is very frequently to be understood as the subject of the consecration (divine passive). More Balz, Horst Robert, and Gerhard Schneider.

Statement of Confession: I believe in the Trinity--Father, Son and Holy Spirit; The Three are One in the Father. I believe that Jesus is the Savior to those that accept Him in genuine repentance of their sins through faith as their Lord and Savior. I believe that baptism--immersion, burial--is an outward show to the world of their acceptance of salvation by Jesus for His dying, resurrection and His sitting at the right hand of the Father in heaven.
