Did the apostles become incapable of sin after being filled with Holy Spirit?

[other one]

Paul wrote that he struggled with it.  

[Cntrysner]

1Jn 3:1  Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 
1Jn 3:2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 
1Jn 3:3  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 
1Jn 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 
1Jn 3:5  And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 
1Jn 3:6  Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 
1Jn 3:7  Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 
1Jn 3:8  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 
1Jn 3:9  Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

My guess is - probably. 

Are we? That sweet holy Spirit that filled them is (Luke 11:13) is also in us.

1 John 1:8 (KJV)

[8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

[10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

This is evidently by the verbiage a reality till we die...

Read the next verse...John says the following:

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: - 1Jo 2:1 KJV

Yes, we were all born in sin and by default we sin according to the old nature, but when we are born again we are set free from that old nature/power of sin and we no longer have to continue to sin any longer.  Sin should be the exception not the norm for a born again believer.  John says that we are not to continue in sin, but IF we do sin we have an advocate.  In fact John says you can Identify those who know God from those who falsely say they know God, see below:

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. - 1Jo 2:1, 3-6 KJV

John says those who say they know God but continue to disobey God's commandments are liars and the Truth does not live in them. 

Those who know God obey him, keep his commandments and walk just as Yeshua walked.

so let me ask you a straight up question ... do you not sin anymore?

No, I do not continue to live in sin anymore. This is not to say I have not sinned in the past and will not sin in the future, but if I do I confess and repent.  The difference is that I do not make excuses for sin and continue to live in habitual sin, and think God is going to over look my unrepentant sin. 

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. - Heb 10:26-27 

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. - 2Pe 3:9

Then you rely on the Covering of Christ's Life of perfection and not your works that are insufficient and occasionally sinful?

This is being treated as a work ... something you must do in order to be saved. Do you believe you can loose your salvation? I, when convicted by God's Word of wrong in my life, repent to Jesus to maintain relationship with Him... as I love Him for the Who of Him- my treasure is Him and this given to me by new birth and The Holy Spirit ...

Call it what you want but the bible is clear that faith with out works is not real faith and faith without works can not save you.  Messiah said we are to strive (work fervently) to enter his kingdom because many [majority] will seek to enter and will not be able.

What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? ... Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. - Jas 2:14, 24

Then one said to Him, "Lord, are there few who are saved?" And He said to them, "Strive [work fervently] to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. "When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open for us,' and He will answer and say to you, 'I do not know you, where you are from,' "then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.' "But He will say, 'I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.' - Luk 13:23-27 NKJV

True faith produces good work.
