That's a toughy!! If we are the Temple; where the Holy Spirit now dwells, then I'd have to say that in order for the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, we must be cleansed by the blood of the Lamb. So..perhaps we are being cleansed still today until we are complete or changed? What do you think?
*Could that be part of the reaping process? When the Lord's angels come and remove everything that does not belong*?
This is a very deep spiritual lesson, and I'm grateful you've made a way for us to learn and talk about it~
That's what I think happens. Whatever has not been burned out of us by the time he comes back, will be taken out, ie., the sin
in us will be removed.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels,
and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,
Mat 13:42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.
Notice, the angels gather out of his
kingdom. The kingdom of God is in us.
Luk 17:21 neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is
within you.
Which would mean that the angels take whatever sin is left inside of us.
And at that point we
shineMat 13:43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.
Yeah!
At least, that's my take on it

I know i've been being freed from stuff for like, 17 years. I can't even
imagine what it will be like for
everything to be gone! Cuz, we'll be perfect at that point!
OK, my two cents.
