Many also harbour this notion unfortunately even believers today believe it same, some even go as far as finding Scripture to support their claims.
I once heard someone say "Even the Bible tells us the righteous shall fall seven times" inciting that even the Scriptures gives room for falling which is true but not the whole Truth the complete Truth is - although God gives room for those of us who'll fall to rise again - falling and rising as a constant trend is not God's will for His children, MERCY IS REAL THING SO ALSO IS GOD'S JUSTICE SYSTEM.
In fact let's look into that Scripture
Proverbs 24:16
:for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes
Seven is established as the number for perfection, so you may find the righteous fall more times than seven numerically that's because the seven there is not numerical but seven as in perfection, so the righteous would fall untill He reaches that state of being perfect in Christ concerning that area he fell at before and this may take him falling numerically a hundred times or even one time given that his Identity in Christ overshadows that deficiency.
Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Colossians 1:28
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Colossians 4:12b
...that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
PROLONGED DEFICIENCY
But many believers cleave to their deficiencies, their weaknesses and make falling and rising a norm, today they're up tomorrow they're down, "Oh I just lied nah everyone lies they say I'll just ask God for forgiveness afterwards, sides the righteous shall fall..." That's wrong!!
What I'm saying is it's not the norm actually that's abnormal you can live above such.
Anytime you find lawlessness rising in your life as a Christian secure yourself in your identity in Christ till you are presented perfect in Christ, else you'll wake up one day and discover you're overrun by lawlessness.
