All born-again believers will continue, if they do not it is the proof they were never born again. I am confident of this because when Christ changes us into a new creation we cannot change ourselves back. We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise as a Guarantee of our Inheritance.
Ephesians 1:13-14
"13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise, 14 who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory."
2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
Our Spirit is alive in Christ but our body is dead in sin, the very reason we must battle our flesh. Christ helps us do that when we confess our sin and desire to be cleansed of it.
1 John 1:9
"9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
