Would it be right to keep his hand down, and essentially fail to proclaim the good news of salvation from sin? (See Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You by Fitch.) Is this what would be happening?
Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, "Behold your God." The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love.

Any transgression of the law, although not willful, is a sin. Most of the time I'm not tempted to commit "big" sins (as people would consider them). I just say something I shouldn't have said (or don't say something I should have said). Or, more frequently, I just become so absorbed in my everyday routine that I simply forget all about God. This is a sin I commit every day. It's a transgression of the first commandment, the most important of all commandments according to Jesus. And if I transgress the greatest commandment, I commit the greatest sin. So, Arnold, if you asked during a sermon, "All who, by God's grace, completely abstained from sinning for a week?" this would certainly be the first thing I would think about, and I certainly wouldn't raise my hand.
Hamartia means "missing the mark," and covers a broad spectrum that includes accident and mistake, as well as wrongdoing and error. The idea conveyed would be the simple acknowledgment of our lack of perfection.

Every fully converted believer (i.e. living in harmony with "all things whatsoever" Jesus commanded), like Enoch, experiences sinlessness while they are abiding in Jesus and partaking of the divine nature. Would such a person know that he is experiencing sinlessness? Would they believe they are sinning?

Would such a person know that he is experiencing sinlessness? Would they believe they are sinning? Is that a Yes or a No? Does that answer my question? Is it possible to have a conversation with no statements, only questions? 
By God's grace,
Arnold
There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892
