He cannot be blamed for sending the unholy man to hell despite his most articulate profession. Faith is extending an empty hand to God to receive His gift of grace. Repentance is a godly sorrow for sin. Faith is receiving a sinner's Saviour. Repentance is a revulsion of the filth and pollution of sin.
Faith is a seeking of cleansing therefrom.
In such false repentance, there is no evidence of conversion, and no sign of the existence of the grace of God. The man who knows that his sin is forgiven, does not cease to mourn for it. No, brethren, his mourning becomes deeper as his knowledge of his guilt becomes greater. His hatred of sin grows in proportion as he understands that love of Christ by which his sin is put away. In true believers, mourning for sin is chastened and sweetened, and, in one sense, the fang of bitterness is taken out.
