I am no longer a sinner, I was baptized in spirit by a living Saint, he lifted me into spirit,fulfilling law, I keep my focus on God, I do the will of God, I no longer concern myself with right or wrong for God is the doer, not my little ego.

When they realize that God is unconditionally loving?
No conditions mean no judgment.
No judgment means no such thing as sin.

Death.
Sorry. As a human, you'll be a sinner as long as you are a human. If you have repented and accepted Jesus' saving work on the cross, you're a forgiven sinner, of course. You are still, however, a real bonafide sinner. Trying to be anything else makes a mockery of what Jesus did for you. Honest. Go have a look at Romans 7, near the end of the chapter. The Apostle Paul, of all people, is talking about his frustration with his own sin. He wants to do right, but ends up sinning. You know he was Christian! Take comfort, your sins are forgiven -- even the ones you have yet to commit. Go look at others of Paul's letters, too. He deals with questions about this from the churches he was shepherding in the area. Apparently, one common line of reasoning among early Christians was "So, shall we keep sinning so we can get more forgiveness and grace from God?" Paul's answer was pretty blunt: "BY NO MEANS!!"

A Christian will always sin, up until our death. A Christian's sin is washed away by the sacrifice of Jesus.
Sin is the result of our corrupted flesh. The flesh body returns to dust and our spirit is later united with a glorified incorruptible body, which replaces the corrupted fleshly body. A Christian ceases to be a sinner when their spirit has left their corrupted flesh body and this occurs at the moment of death.

Never. Everyone sins -- which is basically just the biblical word for doing something wrong, particularly something that harms another person or is against God's law. Everyone does things that are wrong. No matter how much we try, there will be times when we do something that hurts someone some way. When Christians repent (are sorry) for their sins, and ask God for forgiveness, they are forgiven. But forgiveness doesn't make them perfect. It just makes them forgiven.

some people say never, others say that being born again makes a sinner into one that practices iniquity, which is a little different. Others say that if you REPENT you forsake sin. Completely. there has to be a point when repentance means you only have ONE sin that you Need to quit. and God said he can forgive One sin automatically. but that has its own debate.
Technically if you walk in the spirit, you wont fulfill the lusts of the flesh. It can be done! but you have to REALLY walk inthe spirit. !!!

As soon as a person believes in Jesus as his/her savior, that person is saved and is identified as a saint. He/she is no longer a sinner after that. However, we are not made perfect at that point and will not be perfect until we reach heaven. So while we live on this earth, we are saints who sin - sinners by deed, but no longer sinners by nature. Hope that makes some sense.

We as Christians,should not be involved in sin period(especially willfull sin. However, we are growing in the Lord's grace daily,and are not perfected by any means..We do sin. And there are so many angles of sin: sins of omission,willfull sin,fear,doubt,lust...etc. the list goes on forever.
The apostel Paul said:The things he wants to do he does not,and the thing he does not want to do,he does.
The good news is that when a believer does sin,he has an advocate((go between) to the Father, and if we confess our sins,He is faithfully and just to forgive our sins.(by the sacrifice of our savior(Jesus)

Wow what a profound question. To the best of my knowledge, first you must die, Then the next thing you will know the Resurrection is happening (Because the dead know nothing), Then judgment happens, and if your name is in the book you are in and not a sinner any longer.

When we are awakened by the Holy Spirit, we see our sinful condition and our need for a savior. It is then that our desires begin to change. We know longer seek the desires of sin, but to please God. We still have the "old man" or the sin nature living in us, but we are no longer slaves to sin. When we leave this planet and are perfected, then our sin nature will no longer exist either and we will cease from all unrighteousness.

Once you receive Jesus as Lord you are no longer a sinner. You may have a problem with sin, but we are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Not our righteousness but His

The only time a christian is no longer a sinner is the day you take your last breath and your heart beats no more. You will awake in paradise with our heavenly father and you will be free from sin .
