There is no growing in Christ with disobedience, because there is no disobedient member of His body.only over time growing mature and holy in their daily,
There are only obedient sons of God, that grow in Christ with continued obedience through trials of faith by temptation, sufferings, tribulations, and persecutions.
There is no being more holy to the Lord, by being less unholy with the devil.
1 Peter
{1:14} As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: {1:15} But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; {1:16} Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy
The holiness of the Lord is in all manner of our lives, not only in part. There is no progressive sanctification holiness in the Lord in part, but only whole and complete with whole repentance from the heart for His sake.
Eph
{4:22} That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; {4:23} And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; {4:24} And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
His brethren are now created in His righteousness and true holiness. There is no 'progressive creating' sinners into the form of godliness, that only does more good and less sinning.
