1 John 3:7-15
King James Version (KJV)
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

******************************

Its very clear that Born Again Christians do no sin anymore. There aren’t many truly Born Again Christians. That is why you don’t know anybody.

The Truth of the matter is that most people who call themselves Christians really are not. Of course, that is an unacceptable truth to most.

If you continue to sin, you are not a Born Again Christian.

“If you continue to sin, you are not a Born Again Christian.”

Pride is a sin.
Chief among those refusing to be acknowledged.

Was Paul “Born Again”?

Why did he profess to live in fear and trembling regarding his salvation?

Was Paul not yet born again when he wrote, "For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do. [...] I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members. [...] I myself, with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin."? - Romans 7:19, 23, 25
