By reason of Christ's victory over sin and of His indwelling Spirit, all of the saved may--and should--experience deliverance from the power of sin by obedience to Rom. 6:11. But, we deny that man's nature of sin is ever eradicated during this life (Rom. 6:6-14, Gal. 5:16-25, Rom. 8:37, 2 Cor. 2:14, 2 Cor. 10:2-5).
As saints ("set-apart ones") and members of the true Church ("called-out ones"), we are to maintain a Christ-honoring testimony; separate from all forms of worldliness and apostasy, demonstrating obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, and love to all men (Rom. 12:1-2, 9; 2 Cor. 6:14-18, Eph. 5:11, 1 Tim. 6:20-21, 1 John 4:19).
