..”and thus according to your logic no believer ever would sin!”..not at all because even believers in their formative understandings still sin. We have to be saved from that sin but the darkness that inhabits almost all of us needs to be cleaned out which is done in prayer. First we believe, then we discipline ourselves with God’s help and pray silently..because God already knows what we need...then through patience we possess, or the evil gets dispossessed and there is only our souls and the holy spirit left! Shazam! No more compulsion to sin! Still some moderate temptations from the devil, but no a new power to let them pass by! I know of what I speak..been living it for about 5 years now.

<even believers in their formative understandings still sin.<

Listen, the indisputable fact clearly shown you(http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2931985/posts?page=419#419; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2931985/posts?page=384#384) is that a believer is born again, which occurs at conversion by faith and begins growth toward perfection, and that such as were still sinned, rather than born again being a result of a process of growth in grace. You clearly remain in error.
