OK, Christian anthropology 101:

1) Man created sinless, but able to choose to sin
2) Man (Adam) chooses to sin and thereby passes on his sin-nature to all of his descedents. All therefore are sinners, cannot help but sin, and deserve God's wrath and punishment
3) God chooses to save some (but not all) for His own sovereign purposes. He regenerates them which results in them repenting of their sins, proclaiming faith in Him, and then progressively becoming more like Him (sanctification). They can then choose not to sin though they still carry a sin nature and will still often sin
4)Glorification results in the inability sin
