I was asked if I don't still sin. My answer is in forgetting the past and holding from the present onward (Phil.3:13-14), thus I say and in keeping with Scripture, "I don't still sin", ever since Jesus came into my heart from the time I was forgiven and made righteous within by His indwelling power, I don't - Phil.2:12-13 & 1John 3:9
Some seek to see if there was some act of sin in the past and think well you sinned in the past, so then you have to sin in the future and this means you are still sinning. That is erroneous thinking. Look at Romans 6:17-18 and be guided how you are to reason when you are empowered by God in the present.
Rom.6:17-18
17 But God be thanked, that ye WERE the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of Righteousness.
Paul does not refer to the Saints as still sinning . So don't let the devil and His followers try on you what he tried on Joshua in Zechariah 3:1-2 rebuke them in the name of the Lord for you are a brand plucked from the fire and clothed in the white clean garments of righteousness.
P.S. The devil and his followers will seek to have you loose trust in God's power to save from sin. They say to you whether Christ in your life or not you still have to sin. Thus they seek to have you loose confidence in God's power to keep you from falling- Jude 24. So let God be true and let every man be liar, as it is written "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.," Eph.3:20-21
