In order to understand this article, it should be noted that my
opponents have taught that the holy sacraments give grace to
anyone, even if he does not repent his sin and has no intention to do
good. They claim it is enough that he not "put an obstacle in the
way," that is, that he be without wanton intention to sin. My article
is stated in view of this teaching and I continue to hold and insist
that this doctrine is un-Christian, misleading, and heretical.
...
After baptism and
repentance, all sins are forgiven, but sin remains present until death.
But because of Gods forgiveness, this sin does not impair our
salvation, provided we fight against it and do not surrender.
Therefore our opponents should not deny that sin remains after
baptism, as though we needed grace no longer to drive out sin.
Rather, they should deny the assertion that not aU sins are forgiven.
Then they and I would be unanimous in our denial.
