The paper will be presented in four parts. First, I will try to show the biblical-historical understanding of the concept of holiness. Second, I will present the idea of a "Baptist vision" as found in the works of three theologians of baptistic roots: John Howard Yoder, James Wm. McClendon and Glen H. Stassen. Third, I will try to show that this vision is grounded in active engagement in transforming society and how the formation of a "holiness requirement" hinders this mission. Finally, I will propose an alternative understanding of holiness, not as a requirement for entrance into the church but as a way of gradual transformation as found in the Sermon on the Mount.
