Does Dead Really Mean Dead???

I have toyed with the doctrine of entire sanctification in the past, and though it is a good idea, and it sure would make life easier, I see enconsistencies in it.

I have been sitting here wondering about something though. When we repent, we make a choice to forsake the old man, and follow God. When we are water baptised, we are baptised into Christs death. We are to become a new creature. Old things are to "pass away", and all things are become new. This scripture indicates a changing of the guard, if you will. Those things of the pass are to perish out of our lives, and those new things embraced.


Now as to my question........I have heard it stated many times that "while we are here in this flesh, we are going to have trouble with it". So what does it mean for the old man to be dead? Is he really dead, or just sleeping, and when he wakes, we get into trouble? When Paul says that our old man is crucified with Christ, what is crucified?

DOES DEAD REALLY MEAN DEAD?????
