"Learning to stop" has nothing to do with the poll. It's about an entire life-long record, including forgiven sins (if any).
LIFE-LONG record???? Oh...... Okay. I did not get that point.
Well I can only say YES since JESUS DID IT!

Yes, it is possible by God manifesting in flesh personally.

Being THE sinless one and learning to stop committing sins are two different things.
But moving towards sinlessness is different than being 100% sinless. Besides I think anyone who claims to be sinless deceives himself I heard that somewhere, could it have been the same John you referred to?

Timmy ALWAYS has an agenda, and it's not what a sincere Christian might expect when he/she accepts his request. LOL
I don't think that's fair. I like Timmy. I don't think he has an agenda. I think he's good-hearted, I think he cares, and I respect his viewpoints. And I agree with nearly everything he says and what I don't agree with, I understand where he's coming from.
I would say that Timmy is one of the few people here that I completely trust.

What does one refer to when saying SINLESS? Sin is absent from the flesh as a moral force, or one is absent from sinful acts?

Is this supposed to be a trap? Whether or not God puts folk in different categories is beside the point, isn't it?
My answer stands.
It's a very major trap. It's not that they wouldn't know what they did was wrong. It's they wouldn't have the remedy to that wrong, the gospel. If God leaves them without the remedy to their sin, how could he judge them to hell?
Then again, if I'm right and they had the possibility of not sinning, but God left them without the help of Christ in overcoming their sins, then I suppose they would also have some right to claim injustice if they were sentenced to hell.

Totally took what I said the wrong way.
