To start off, everyone is a sinner, even if they are born again they don't stop being sinners. The difference now, however, is that the born again person is now reedeemed and made righteous. The blood of Jesus Christ is upon him and it cleanses him. By this, he is made right w/ God, and can enter His Kingdom.

Being born again doesn't make us perfect. That won't happen until Jesus returns. But, being born again does mean that we have the Holy Spirit to rap us on the nose when we do something wrong. :) Kind of like an enhanced conscience, but with more personality.

Interesting Question. First John 3:9 says that "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." This seems somehow to say, who can be saved because we all still do some of those things.
Col 2:14 says "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"
From this in my understanding we are no longer governed by the law, so there is no more sin.
1Cr 6:12 "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
1Cr 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not."
From this in my understanding nothing is sin to us anymore, We can still do them, but they are no longer sin, still they are harmful to us.
It's kind of a paradox.

Even Christians are vulnerable to the temptations of the enemy. Sometimes we fall, but God convicts us, we ask forgiveness, and He allows us to start over. I'm not sure any of us will ever be completely sinless, though I'm beginning to think it's possible with each passing day.

Are all your thoughts pure all the time? Are all your words spoken wholesome and encouraging? Are all your actions to the glory of God all the time. Do you ever speed when you drive? How can 'born-again' sin...easy and often! Christians aren't sinless, just forgiven.

When they willfully sin.
Hebrews
6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.
6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

The Bible says we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That's what repentance is for. If we repent of our sins we'll go to Heaven.

Because you are human and were born with a "sin nature". You have to trust God and work on overcoming it.

Nobody is perfect. Even as a saved person, we still sin. Read Romans 7.

We are human therefore we are imperfect, we sin. Jesus' dying on the cross blotted out our sin so that God no longer see the sin.
