I thought it was future as well - but this is good to know. Thanks for the clarification - I had wondered about that. I thought it was future as well - but this is good to know.

The perfect tense does communicate "past action with continuing results." However, that continuing of results is only valid from the author's point of view. In other words, the results continue through the time of writing, at least. Thus there really isn't a future claim made. In Hebrews 10:14, though, the force of the future promise is found in the words "for all time." The phrase, quite literally rendered, is "For by one sacrifice He has made perfect for all time the being sanctified ones." It's a great gospel statement of Scripture! Good work. Good post, Ryan.
