Bible Note: Hi terrib, In reading your post, your theology sounds right but the grammatical timing is off a little. You stated in your post. “All are in the present tense!” Actually all the verses you mentioned are in the Greek AORIST tense. Which is a point of time divorced from time and perpetuated forever. The point of time referred to, is the point in time when one puts all of their faith in the finished work that Christ did on the cross; it would be closer to the English past tense, it already happened when one trusted in Jesus and God regenerated them at that point. Ephes. 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Ephes. 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Have a great day, CDBJ |
