We don't believe that God prevents us from sinning at all after salvation. Where do you get that from?

It makes no difference if the Reformed sin or not. That's the point. Their sins are already paid for. No matter what they do, it's what was predestined and nothing could change it even if they had free will, which they don't. [Reformed theology 101]

Of course it makes a difference, it just doesn't AFFECT salvation. The difference is that harm is done to others, and ourselves. And, we will likely suffer earthly discipline, as we discussed earlier, for our sins. Since that discipline can take any form, I am FURTHER motivated to not sin. It IS a difference.
