I am already born of God. I have some bad news for you "QuikSand" (previously ocean blue) 1 John 1:8 -
If we claim to be without sin, (PRESENT TENSE) we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. You claim to be without sin. Guess where that leaves you? In Quicksand! I already explained 1 John 3:9 to you in post #178 in "The Born of God" thread. -

In regards to 1 John 5:18 - Sinneth not (ouc amartanei). Lineal present active indicative, "does not keep on sinning," (lives a life of sin, not mere occasional acts of sin as amarthsa, aorist active participle, would mean) and it's the same in 1 John 3:6. Do you ever get tired of being a troll?
