Christians are free from the penalty of sin, but still sin.

That cannot be repeated enough. That is the point the Catholics seem to miss wholesale.

Just like having a credit card that you never have to pay back. Now, that's Christianity!!! You can be Christian and it doesn't cost you anything. Never mind that almost all the Apostles died a martyr's death. You, too, can be a saved Christian going straight to heaven from comfort of your very own LaZBoy. No fuss, no muss, no discomfort of any kind.

Just say the magic phrase - it doesn't even matter if you mean it or not. Whee, instant Christianity. Just add grape juice.
