Those who use "grace" as an excuse to indulge in their favorite sin cannot be born again. The born again believer hates sin and loves Christ Who lives in them. When we sin we are plagued with guilt by the Holy Spirit until we repent. Even having discipline in which God does not listen to us and the consequences become burdensome.
1 John 3:8-10 "…8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
10 By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.…"
1 John 1:9 "9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Those who defend their sin fighting to endorse it cannot be born again.
