Choir,

I think you are misunderstanding what Stan said. Stan was not saying Christians don't have the power over sin, but that as long as we are in these bodies of flesh and blood we are susceptible to the flesh even though those born-again have died to their old man. I would disagree with Stan in what he said about baptism. Baptism comes after the new birth. Baptism of the Holy Spirit is experientially sensing one has died to the world, gone down to the water with Christ, and coming up out of the world as a sojourner.
