This morning I attended my first Calvary Chapel service.
The sermon was preached from 1 Peter 4, and the pastor rather firmly stated that born again Christians never sin. They stop sinning when they get born again.
My own understanding of scripture on this issue is that born again Christians sin less as they mature in the Lord but will never have 100% victory (stop sinning) on this side of heaven.
Not at all seeking to argue the point but rather to learn what the CC stance is on this so I can see if that church is a good fit. I had to leave before the service was over completely so didn't get a chance to chat with the pastor about it and ask. I have emailed him to ask.
Thanks in advance.
