This guy clearly never read past his shiny bookmark in his Bible. Saying Christians aren’t sinners anymore isn’t just bad theology, it’s straight-up heresy.

Paul literally calls himself the chief of sinners after becoming an apostle. John says if you claim to be without sin, you’re a liar and the truth isn’t in you (1 John 1:8). Romans 7 is Paul, already a Christian, groaning over his battle with sin.

The Reformers had a phrase for this: simul justus et peccator, at the same time righteous and sinner. We’re clothed in Christ’s righteousness, adopted as sons and daughters, yes. But until we’re glorified, we still sin every day and depend on grace every hour.

So no, you’re not just ‘the will of God, His son or daughter.’ You’re also a sinner who Christ bled for. Deny that, and you’re preaching a different gospel. And the New Testament has a word for that: anathema.
