We must remember...the Bible says....Fear God.....as in respect for His commandments....until our earthly end.

Truly, if we are not keeping the commandments of God, we ought to question as to whether we have truly been born again (1 John 3:4,9).

But I would say that if we are born again, we can blow it without that destroying our identity that we are righteous in Christ.

For it is written that God justifieth (declareth to be righteous) the ungodly (Romans 4:5).

If we have the identity that we are righteous, let us live by that identity (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).

Actually, born agains do not have to obey the flesh (Romans 8:12 (kjv, NLT)...

And also, there is a sense in which those who are born of God "cannot sin" (1 John 3:9).

No one is perect.

No one is perfect. <fify>
Heb 10:14, For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Even in the practical sense.

1Jo 3:9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Born again has no need to obey the flesh?....please explain.
What are you looking for in an explanation?

The works of the flesh are mentioned in Galatians 5:19-21...I am saying that, if we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we don't have to ever commit the sins that are mentioned there.

Actually, I don't count myself to have apprehended...

Which, btw, is a condition for those who have been perfected.

(Philippians 3:12-15 (kjv), esp. v.15)
