Yoel, though you are correct that the Scripture does not teach that you receive Christ and then you can go back into the world and sin freely you are incorrect to think you can live a sinless life to keep your salvation.
Your feeling or reasonings will not give you the answer.
Salvation in the first place is to repent and change our minds to turn from sin to God. I John "If we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Christ His Son cleanes us from all sin." Holiness is a progressive work of grace just like your salvation.
Ephesians 2:9-10 Phil 1:6 John 10
Do you know any Christians that do not sin? I do! They are all dead!
We need to walk in the Spirit and count the old man as dead.
What joy to know we are saved and kept by grace and as long as we surrender to His Spirit we can live a life of fruitfull service.
Look at all the verses of Scripture and don't confuse discipleship with salvation. Love you brother, John Saputo
