If you were one of those that God gave to his Son to redeem them from their sins (J0hn 6:39) there is no sin that you commit that will keep you out of heaven, however, like Paul said, all of us that have been born again do carry the burden of our sinful nature, and oft times yield to the temptations of them.

Those who are in Christ have his righteousness. If Christ never sinned, then that’s the identity of all who are in Christ. If I steal, I’m not a thief because Christ is not a thief. You and I are no longer in the flesh. We are in Christ. We have been spiritually circumcised from the flesh and placed in Christ. The law is no longer against me.

• Gen 4:7a . . If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do
not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;
This is the very first instance in the Bible of the word "sin". The Hebrew word
is somewhat ambiguous but basically speaks of offenses; as in repeat
offender. In other words; not just an occasional slip-up, but a life style.
• Gen 4:7b . . it desires to have you, but you must master it.
This is the first mention of self control in the Bible. In other words: God
created humanity with the capability to decide bad ways for itself; but that's
only half the story. God also created humanity with the capability to decide
good ways for itself; so He wasn't requiring something impossible from Cain
like touching his right elbow with the thumb of his right hand.
Nobody is exempt from the rule of self control.
• Rom 6:12-13 . . Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey
its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of
wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been
brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as
instruments of righteousness.

I think you mean "Finally, someone who agrees with me!" 
Those who are in Christ do not sin. If they do they do not know him.
1 John 3.
Scripture and common sense bear out the scriptures.
If we are saved from our sins but are still sinners who sin, that's the argument those who deny eternal Salvation make for themselves, "OSAS''. I.E OSAS=you can sin but you're still saved.
What of the new nature we have in Christ? Behold the old is passed away, the new has come.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Ephesians 4:To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
1John 5:18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

Those who belive they are sinless are suffering from the 'Pharisee in the Temple Complex', deceiving themselves into believing that they are all holy and pleasing in God's sight. Jesus told us that the Pharisee was not forgiven his sins, because he thought he was sinless. On the other hand, the 'Tax Collector' who acknowledged his sins and asked for forgiveness was forgiven.
Jesus came to save sinners, so if you are not a sinner He didn't come for you.
"Don't be deceived, if you declare yourself to be without sin, you are a liar." (John)
BTW, I'm surprised/amazed at how many posters on this thread believe they are without sin. Not only deceiving themselves but trying to deceive others as well.
