Mark 2:5
And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
1. This was before Jesus' death and resurrection.
2. The faith here is not that of the paralyzed man.
3. The four friend's faith was in Jesus' ability to physically heal their paralyzed friend.
As such,
Was the paralytic immediately saved?
If so, why wasn't the paralyzed man's faith not taken into account instead?
If not, is complete forgiveness of sins not enough to gain salvation?
