Is this a fair representation of the Normal Christian Life?
Is this a fair representation of the Normal Christian Life?
If a person is not a Christian, evangelical preachers will say that they are dead in sin. Does that mean their spirit is literally dead? (non-existent?) or does it mean that their spirit is fellowship with darkness and therefore as good as dead before God? Moreover, does the difference matter?

I don't think that the body leads primarily to all things of the devil. My body is described as a temple, so I suppose it's how I use it that decides whether it's glorifying God or not. I'll shall ponder further. I do love a good brain bash like this.
I'd say that it's about the ultimate object/person/persons of our worship that is the difference between a Christian and a non-Christian.
I think to be dead in sin is the entrapment of sin by which I mean we worship anything that is not God trying to find satisfaction, joy, life through worshipping it. However, the truth about worshipping anything other that God is that it never satisfies...
...so I guess in answer to the question. I think it is both body and spirit that do not worship God fully- that both are as good as dead unless worshipping the true God.
