I don't believe Christianity is only believing in God and going around saying "I'm a Christian". It's not being religious and praying aloud every chance you get.
It's accepting Jesus as your savoiur and living your life lead by the Holy Spirit. Having a relationship with God, and following his plan.

Of course you'll sin again, that's human nature. It might not be so much as not being able to do it, but because the Holy Spirit is in you, you are more aware that you are sinning. Feeling the guilt and the consequences before you even do the sin, so after feeling all that you don't commit the sin and repent. I feel horrible when I do something simple like cuss at someone I'm mad at. Even though that doesn't sound too bad, it is a sin and a sin is a sin.
And rather or not we truly have free will is a debate between Christians because of predetermination. Since God knows all, and knows everything that is to happen in the future, do you truly have a choice in what we do in life? Verses in the bible can be pulled to prove either side. I'm not even going to go down that road.
