Technically, they are not believers, because somone who truly sees Jesus as he is and believes in him, trusts in him, becomes like him instantly.
Lance wrote: > No believer is without sin! You could mean several different things by this statement. I hope you are not denying the cleansing power of the blood of Christ. I hope you are not saying that no believer is morally clean. No believer is without sin in the same way that Jesus was not without sin (reference the post you forwarded by Debbie not long ago), but there are believers who will be without sin in the same way that Jesus was without sin, because we are made like him through faith. As the Scriptures say, "he that is born of God sinneth not" (1 John 5:18). Who is he that is born of God? "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God" (1 John 5:1). Notice it does not say, "whosoever believeth the doctrine of the Trinity is born of God."
