No one has sins actually remitted before true faith and serious repentance
Actual remission never precedes true faith and serious repentance.
Serving sin / unbelief = wrath remaining and death—cannot coexist with actual pardon.
Latin
XVII. Et hinc quoque manifestum est nemini peccata actu remissa esse priusquam per veram fidem, & seriam poenitentiam ad Deum conversus fuerit. Cujus contrarium tamen Theologi nonnulli videntur asserere. Sed in eo vel male sentiunt, vel non bene loquuntur. Nam quicunque peccato servit, & in Christum non credit, ira Dei manet super eum, sententia Dei damnatus est, a Deo dicitur, manet in morte, necdum transiit a morte ad vitam. Peccato autem servit, & in Christum non credit, qui nondum est ad Deum per fidem & poenitentiam conversus. Quis autem capere valeat haec duo simul consistere posse, ut actu alicui peccata remissa sint, & tamen ille maneat in morte, & ira Dei maneat super eum?
