Interesting passage... what the once-blind man said in John 9:25...
He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” -John 9:25
You see that this man obviously didn't have all his doctrine together when Jesus opened his eyes. Nobody does. You don't need to know everything there is to know about Jesus first--Jesus first knows you. You don't know if Jesus is a sinner or not? We can sort that out later. It's true, He was without sin. Don't you know that He is God in the flesh--born without sin, lived a sinless life, and went to the grave as the spotless (sinless) lamb? He did indeed, and there will be more time for that later. What should you do today?
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
“Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”
Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”
Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” -John 9:35-39

I imagine there are lots of things you may not know about Jesus. So, unrepentant sinner... there will be time for sound doctrine later, and there is grace for you in this. Now God calls you to repent (Acts 17:30), as all of us. If God Who gave you eyes has opened your eyes to see Jesus--and you are drawn to seek Him--then you know what you need to do. Believe in Jesus and worship Him truly. He opened your eyes, and there will be time for sound doctrine.
