It only applies to the believer if it is written to believers.

there's more scripture that speaks of repentance ... and it's relationship w/ forgiveness ... but 3 -steppers always have a 'COUNTER-ARGUMENT' to justify sacramentalism.

Theophilus loves God so he must be a believer.

What would unbelievers want with the epistles? They need to hear the gospel first. They can't walk with the Lord until they are born again.
