1 John 3:9 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.

"But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God............." John 1:12

How about quoting the whole counsel of God when it comes to sin. You have cherry picked a scripture to imply that anyone who sins is not born again. This is contrary to God's word. If you are going to say that you do not sin, I will call you a liar, because you do. How can i say that? Because God's word says so.

"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." 1 John 1:8

The correct translation of 1John 3:9a reads, "No one who is born of God will continue to sin...".
Instead, he will rue his sin, confess it and stop practicing it (1John 1:8-9).

You could say whosoever is born of the Spirit of truth does not lie, for the Word remains in him and he cannot lie because he is born of the Spirit of the truth.

Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

You perhaps need to explain yourself better, if you are trying to make a point. Reading the title of your post and then the scripture you quoted makes it seem as if you are saying those who are born again do not sin. I happen to know that is not true. However, some new believers may not be established in the truth. Your post may cause them to doubt their salvation.

That may not be your intent. I don't know why you posted. Intentional or not, the result is the same.
