Verse 8 is simply looking back upon the fact I am saved. Verse 7 is simply saying if you prefer the flesh you can't please God.
A Christian can be carnal. Just because a Christian is born-again doesn't mean he can never sin.
Paul expresses this condition Christians at Corinth: "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ" (1 Cor. 3.1).
A carnal Christian can live like the unsaved who set their mind on the flesh. If you don't realize this, you will have to fall to realize this experientially because you don't accept the reality of it.
