If one whole-heartedly believed, they would fear the LORD and obey His commandments (Deuteronomy 13:4). Having one's sins washed away by the cleansing Blood of Jesus removes all past sins from the record. Obedience to the LORD renders one blameless in His eyes. In fact, the Scriptures inform us that true servants of Christ are
not even capable of committing any further sin (Ezekiel 36:26-27, I John 3:9, Philippians 2:13). So your question is meaningless, since being a True Christian™, by definition, means that we are perfect.
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
