So who is right? David Green says that those in the new heavens and new earth that sin is defeated. Notice that Green only maintains that the new heavens and earth only includes "God's holy ones". Should I assume that since the ungodly are not also in the new heavens and earth, that they remain in the present heavens and earth. But Sam Frost and Kurt Simmons concludes the ungodly have entered the new heavens and new earth due to the assumption that the present heavens and earth has passed away. So by Sam and Kurt's viewpoint does that mean sin has been defeated for those outside of Christ also? So who is really in the New Heavens and Earth?

The “wages” of sin is Death (condemnation and alienation with God). But when Death was destroyed in the Kingdom of God in A.D. 70, sin was “shut up” and forever “sealed.” Death no longer issues forth from the sins of God's children, because the power of His Cross swept away the Ministry of Condemnation and Death (the Law) in A.D. 70, robbing sin of its power, and robbing Death of its sting. Through the work of the Son, Death is nullified and Sin is defeated. In the New Heavens and New Earth, the sins of all God's holy ones, living and dead, are "covered over," buried in the depths of the sea (Micah 7:19), forever forgotten, and hidden from the eyes of God. http://www.preteristcosmos.com/question5.html#note100
