So are you saying that unless they repent, we are not to forgive? Because
this sounds like this is what you are logically implying. Guess what? Hinn
did repent of those statements.
This seems to be the idea that is portrayed in many Christians. It seems
that they refuse to forgive unless one asks for it. I recall when Jesus was
on the cross, He said "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they
do." Even our Lord, while dying and suffering on the cross, had enough mercy
to pray for those who were crucifying and mocking Him.
