Calling all PAJCers: When does Justification and Remission Happen?

[stmatthew]

Sabellius,

Given the definition of remission is so close to that of Justification, why do none of the leading scholars believe that justification occurs at remission of sins?

From Acts 2:38.....

Remission - aphesis {af'-es-is}


1) release from bondage or imprisonment

2) forgiveness or pardon, of sins (letting them go as if they had never been committed), remission of the penalty
