No, it's not. You insinuated I was wrong for calling sin "sin." You had no words for how wrong I was to name sin "sin."

Speaking of misrepresentation, you're the king here.
I never stated "ever Christian to be perfect in obedience to all commands ... at the moment of initial conversation ..
I simply stated that a sinner knows what sin is, why should we pretend Christians are dumb and need time to learn what sin is/isn't? I also stated that people are not perfect, but that people with unrepentant sin would not be saved. That's simply the Bible.

Please post the quote where I allegedly said this. Right, I didn't post anything of the sort. Of course people grow in Christ, that doesn't mean we coddle and excuse sin! Sin is sin, and nowhere in the Bible does it give separate definitions for newborn Christians vs mature Christians.
