Do Christians Sin After Salvation?
 

Do they? Or do they reach sinless perfection right away or soon thereafter?

Re: Do Christians Sin After Salvation?
 

Sinless perfection in Christ, prefected forever. Fruit of it in our lives is a process.

Re: Do Christians Sin After Salvation?
 

Perfection as in complete?

The Bible says yes as long as we are in Christ.

Perfection as in some unrealistic or false pretense of infallibility?

Not Biblically possible.

Even if we were somehow to be so holy as to not do a single sin for 20 or 20 years, Biblically speaking, we are still in the flesh, capable of sinning, and COMMANDED to confess our sins.

Blameless does not mean sinless.

Do they? Yes, since salvation doesn't remove the fleshly ability to sin.

this verse shows we can sin after salvation. Paul was taking to Christians .

1Co 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

Who said that anyone hasn't the ability to sin? DB you started a strawman thread. :lol

Watch out! You're probably hiding some gross sin. Buckle up you're about to get excoriated.

Right. :highfive

Re: Do Christians Sin After Salvation?
 

Every Christian is expected to overcome sin very soon after salvation.

There are sins that are done presumptuously and those that are done negligently. Christians must seek God's deliverance from spiritual strongholds in their life, but their flesh is going to always give occasion to sin. We must have many alters in our lives. If I was to tell a new convert that they could never mess up again after their conversion, they would think I was crazy. We can overcome sin through the Spirit of God, but we will never be perfect while we are in this earthly body.
