Christian all of the sins of that Christian (Rom 8:26). In any case confession is part
of the Law (Deut30:10).

What a Christian suffers is not a function of his sin, which is simultaneously and
instantly forgiven even as it is committed (Rom 8:26), but of the mystery of his
eternal, future-proofed yet with free will, salvation status as it is worked through
i.e. preserved in the teeth of continuing opposition from the flesh and in
accordance with the prime principle (Acts 9:16, Rom 8:28, 1 Cor 1:5, Phil 1:17-19,
2:12, 2 Thes 1:5, 2 Tim 2:12, Heb 2:10, James 1:2-4, 1 Pet 4:12-13, 16-19 ). In
this sense Christians are constantly being 'judged', sin by sin, (1 Cor 11:31-32)
although saved from their sins and therefore safe as regards God’s ultimate and
eternal judgement. That is whilst being completely forgiven, God still intervenes to
safeguard future-proofed retention of Salvation (1 Cor 11:32, Heb 12:5-12). It is
good for a Christian to try and understand their mysterious position as regards the
prime principle and take action as this can avoid suffering (1 Cor 11:31).

As God is constantly forgiving Christians and they are in a permanent state of
forgiveness God can not be pronounced as having forgiven them for this or that or
as the result of a specific confession, he has already done so (Col 2:13). Of course
Christians should forgive whenever it is appropriate under obedience to the two
great commandments, though not as Law, those who have sinned against them
either individually or corporately (Mat 6:12, 14, Eph 4:32). This is a power that
Christians have by virtue of the in-dwelling Holy Ghost (John 20:22-23) whilst
non-Christians can and should forgive their forgiveness does not carry this
automatic default of God's forgiveness being extended to the forgiven party (John
20:22-23). A Christian’s spirit has already forgiven all sins sinned against that
person or the Church in general (Mat 6:14, Luke 11:4).

To judge others is wrong as a default under the Law (Mat 7:1, Rom 2:1) as it is to
try and judge oneself (1 Cor 4:3-5) which is a law-focused process built around the
forbidden fruit (Gen 3: 5) and for the Christian is a futile attempt to come again
under the operation of the Law. This is distinct to the exercise of discernment and
discrimination in choices informed by an understanding of our own basic spirit (1
Cor 11:31). When the Word speaks via Paul that he had already judged someone,
this is an expression for emphasis meaning that Paul had prayed that the individual
should rather die and thus be saved rather than live and lose his salvation which
was the fate of this man, revealed to Paul, if left to his own devices. As the basic
spirit of a Christian is pure this Christian’s only hope was to be separated from his
flesh as soon as possible, that is die (1 Cor 5:3-5). He wanted the congregation to
pray likewise (1 Cor 5:4). This is distinct to judgement which is wrong under the
