All actions are historical facts that can not be undone and erased from history as if they never happened. The distinguishing factor of a Perfect tense action is that the results of the action continue up to the present. In the case of the Perfect tense verb of having been made a partaker of Christ, the result continues up to the present IF you keep the beginning of your commitment firm to the end.My favorite example of the perfect tense is a "rung bell", or, as Paul says, "Have I not seen the risen Lord?" But if that bell ceases to exist, it evidently won't be anything, a rung bell, an unrung bell, nothing.
For we have become partakers of Christ if we keep the beginning of our commitment firm until the end Hebrews 3:14
