Yes, on occasion. No-one goes throughout life invariably sinning.
The signs are simple enough, if the truth has been received, the person's life will conform with the teachings. If you are saying that no-one avoided sinning, you are correct. If you are saying that no-one can avoid sin, you are incorrect. Scant few have, and it is to be expected that every now and then, a scant few will.
ETA: Part of Jesus' mission was to make it possible for people who receive the truth to be set free from bondage to sin. A person unable to stop sinning has not been set free from bondage to sin. The concept of theosis predates the concept of original sin by at least a couple of centuries.

Third cetury??? No known scripture of Christianity is known to exist prior to 150-200 AD. The text and beliefs evolved and developed in their final form beyond this from unknown texts.

Based on the facts of the history of Christianity and fallible human nature the view you are presenting your own 'personal view' and idealistically vague.
