The second step then towards the baptism with the Holy Spirit is to put away every sin.

Straw, this is perfectionism, as Robin rightly noted. The idea that we must cease all sinning in order to receive further blessing from God will do one of two things: It will either 1) make us despair of being blessed by God, or it will 2) make us arrogantly believe that we have achieved a state of sinlessness. Receiving the Holy Spirit, far from requiring that we first put away all sin, is what makes it POSSIBLE to resist sin in the first place!
