Who ever said we should "identify ourselves" as sinners? I've never actually heard anyone teach this, or anything like this. To be sure, neither the Lord Jesus nor any of the scripture writing apostles taught anything like this. I think the biblical view is that all true believers are sinners saved by grace. Since this is how God "identifies" us, I think we can safely identify ourselves and other believers as sinners saved by grace. I doubt that many of us are good enough theologians to delve too much further into this matter, lest we end up like Witness Lee, who taught that Satan is dwelling in our flesh.

God have mercy.
