Here is what the Greek perfect passive tense and voice as used in 1 John 2:12 ( and the others put up in the other post ) means in relation to the forgiveness of sins that is in Christ.
Forgiveness of sins is something to be believed and received by faith in what Christ has already done. It is the gospel message that we are to be proclaiming.
Without a doubt this verse in 1 John 2:12 says that the sins are forgiven from a past action that remains in a continuous completed state and that was put on them....not something they did. It is condition or state of being is continuously being true.
