What does sinning have to do with it?
I honestly wish people would finally get that God really isn't concerned about our sin, He just wants a relationship with us. The sin will die off if we just keep our eyes focused on Him.
A saint can sin and a sinner can do saintly things.

In the Greek, the Word we translate Saint is also translated Believer in Jesus Christ. So all believers are Saints.
All are sinners, but we are forgiven. Our Righteousness is as Filthy Rags, but we have the Righteousness of Christ, so we become as if we had never sinned. Not by our works, but by His work on the Cross.

Saints refers to a body of believers who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. This is a term used by Paul to describe his fellow believers in the various churches. The meaning is different from the word saint we use in today's context.

Jesus is the atonement for our sins. God, who can't look at sin, looks at us through Christ's perfection and sees us as saints. So, even though Christians are just as much human sinners as everyone else, God sees us as saints because of Christ.

Very few are regarded as saints. And even they had to wait until after they died to become a martyr and then work their way up from there.

a person who is born again was previously a sinner. but after that he is no longer under the law of sin and death. he may sin but will always repent and get on right standing with God

We are the children of Adam, Rom 3:23, this is called corporate sin.

Because it is believed that people are born with original sin and we must spend our lives living according to God's will so as to 'work' that sin off to be accepted into Heaven

I love how people pull one scripture from the Bible and question it.
Read the WHOLE Bible, it will answer ALL of life's questions.
