Yes but the Issue Is no longer sin but belief.
JESUS paid the price for us satisfying the demand of the law righteously which meant Death for those that break the law HE had mercy on us because we could not meet GODs perfect standard of righteousness taking our place sacrificing HIS life to a righteous loving GOD.

To be clear are you saying that you will lose your salvation If you don’t repent after every sin committed after salvation or are you saying you repent after salvation because you have been made clean and just and you are renewing your mind to match the new creation you have become?
The reason I ask Is because some Interpret
1 John 1:9
King James Version
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Some Interpret this scripture to be talking about after salvation.
IMO This scripture Is talking about people coming to CHRIST and not a recipe so to speak or requirement to stay saved.

If you are one of God's elect that Christ died for, then , yes, you still go to heaven. After you are born again and sin, that sin will keep you from having fellowship with God and God will chasten you for the sin, until you repent, but it will not keep you out of heaven. The thing about being born again is that we are born unto good works, that is, we have a desire to do good works, and that does not mean that we always do good works.
Yes
The bible says that those who have been born AGain of Incorruptible seed WILL seek to purify themselves even as they are pure In other words when GOD makes a person's spirit perfect they will have a desire to be perfect In their mind/body to match their new creation In CHRIST.
So then the emphasis Is not on sin but Faith whosoever believes the WORD manifested to the five senses/flesh.

I am agree that after Jesus in our heart, we Will purified by Jesus, but Seem to me not over night. It is a proces when Jesus in our heart, we do not want to kill other but to love, but as a baby though live baby, It can't walk perfectly, need learn, It may fall and make mistake. But I believe when we fall in sin we need to repent again. Say for some reason a born again Christian kill other, he have to ask God forgiveness and stop killing.
When David kill uriah and Nathan confront him, and he confest.
2 Samuel 12
13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
The way David respon is confest and fasting ask the Lord If He forgive him and not kill his son.
So I believe we need repent, regret what we do and ask forgiveness every time we sin.

I mean If after born again we murder people, we have to repent from murder, or stop murder. Like David murder uriah, than regret and not murder anymore though God still punish him and say David son Will die.
That mean God want David to obey the Lord, not kill for his wife.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
In this verse also state : we know that we know Him if we keep His command.
It mean, we may think we know Him but is not.
The sign whether we know God or not is do we keep or obey His command?
Base oN These verses how people that keep murder and not repent save?
