I think so. "Sinless perfection" is a doctrine that looks to
Romans 6, but I'm not sure if it is not a bad title for a teaching.
Gal 5 plainly says that so long as we walk after the Spirit, we will not fulfill works of the flesh or sins. As soon as we cease walking after the Spirit, by losing the faith of
Romans 6:13, we slip right back into committing sins again.
I also think the IDEALIST doctrine started with people who never did get the Holy Ghost baptism, and therefore have no power to resist sin, anyway! So it became an excuse for lack of Spirit infilling.
