I'm not a theologian, so it difficult for me to say for certain as I don't know the man well enough to know what sins he has committed or when he committed them.

Based on the scriptural soundness of the teachings I've seen from him so far, I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he's probably describing himself as a sinner in the sense that he has sinned at some point in his life prior to being saved. For example, some people might describe the thief on the cross from Luke 23:39-43 as a "thief", "criminal", or "sinner" etc. based on his past actions. Since the majority of his life was filled with crime, most people consider him a "criminal", but he is still saved since he converted after these crimes occurred.

Again, based on the scriptural soundness of this man's sermons, if he is currently engaging in sin, I'd like to at least consider him a Christ Seeker, who will at some point in the future could fully accept Christ into his heart and cast away with his last remaining vestiges of sin once and for all. I won't know for sure until we're both dead, but I'd like to think his odds are very good
