Alting: sins deleted two ways — decree/death of Christ, and efficacious application
Some Reformed seem to grant that the justifying act is persuasion that our sins are already deleted and remitted through Christ.
No clash, they say, in God remitting because we believe them remitted — if “deleted” is heard two ways.
First: as to God’s decree and Christ’s death already undergone from that decree.
Second: as to efficacious application — Christ giving remission, believers receiving it by faith.
Alting: remission is given and applied while with sure fiducia we embrace Christ, persuaded that by decree his death has blotted out and expiated our sins.
Latin
LXIX. Sunt tamen inter Reformatos, qui concedere videntur fidei actum quo justificamur, esse persuasionem quod peccata nostra per Christum deleta atque remissa sint. Nec putant ullam esse repugnantiam, si dicamus Deum nobis peccata remittere, & peccata nostra delere, propterea quod illa remissa & deleta esse credimus. Sed observant peccata nostra deleta dici posse duobus modis: primo quoad decretum Dei, & mortem Christi ex decreto illo jam obitam: secundo vero quoad efficacem applicationem, tum ex parte Christi donantis remissionem peccatorum; tum ex parte credentium, fide eam accipientium. Adeoque mens eorum est, nobis donari atque applicari remissionem peccatorum, dum certa fiducia Christum amplectimur, & persuasi sumus Christum, juxta Dei decretum, peccata nostra morte sua delevisse atque expiasse. Quae est doctrina Henrici Altingii, locorum communium parte secunda, Controversia secunda de Fide justificante, contra Samosatenianos.
