Talking to some Weslyans

[Proeliator]

This is what one of the guys had to say, and I dont really uinderstand what is meant by this. First comes what I said:

Now, I dont know Weslyan theology, but you confused me here. You said God allows us to live free of intentional sin. Are you saying that God frees us from sin? That from that point we could live a sin free life?

Then the 2 responses:

there's a difference between living a sin free life and an intentional sin free life. EVERYBODY slips up from time to time. One slips past the goaltender and oops, we've sinned. Not so intentional there. However, as a Wesleyan we believe that if entirely sanctified you can life an intentional sin free life. Meaning we're not going out and sinning on purpose because in the long run we know we're saved.

Yes, we could live just as Jesus. We are washed completely clean, we are reborn as a new person. We are perfect and COULD walk a sin free life for the rest of our life in theory.
