We DO have to be sinless in order to be saved. The question is... whose sinlessness must we have? Our own...or Christ's?



In Christ.... I am sinless. I am the "righteousness of God".
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Jesus took and became MY sin... so that I could take and become HIS righteousness.

A complete and perfect exchange. In HIM... I am sinless!!!
The point was, WE still sin and I refer to those that believe WE are not saved unless WE never ever eve commit a sin of our own doing
