If one no longer has a sinful nature, they cannot sin...it is against their nature, it is impossible. It will naturally be repugnant to them. Therefore, if we are not sinless, or should sin tomorrow, it is evidence of that we are clearly not born again.
Do the math. Sin equals unsaved. It's not that hard. We're all fakes. Every last one of us. Unless there's someone here that is indeed sinless. Which, there isn't.

Aquila, Paul said if you are still a thief stop stealing.
That couldn't get any plainer than that. This isn't AA or NA you receive the Holy Ghost to enable you to eat straw like an ox, to lay down with a lamb, to not strike venom to the innocent infant who plays on the entrance of your den. Paul discribes the change of nature. It can be done. Jesus speaks of two masters one God, the other mammon. From all of what you have posted recently you have your love an attention on something else. That is what keeps you sliding downward. Get a divorce from whatever is pulling you downward. Only you know what that is. You and Jesus Christ.
