Your statement above implies that one can have some measure of sin and be saved. I'm going to play a word game here Prax, love ya bro....
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!!!
