I read in one of the books that the one who commits a sin and persists in it is a disbeliever, and his disbelief is of the same kind as the disbelief of Iblis!!

Question:
This questioner asks, saying: May Allah reward you. I read in one of the books that the one who commits a sin and intends never to leave it is a disbeliever, because he made the sin a law he follows, and his disbelief is of the same kind as the disbelief of Iblis, because he intended not to carry out, not to carry out, the command of his Lord. What is the correctness of this statement?

Answer:
By Allah, I do not know this speaker, nor has this statement passed by me, nor do I know who said it. Yes.
