Someone who is seeking the Father, turning AWAY from sin, repenting,
is
not considering sin in their heart as if it is okay to do - they are sore grieved by their own sin and want to give it up and to find relief from it, and from all the power of sin and of the devil trying to keep them in sin.
If they are double-minded, as written in James, etc, they should not expect anything , as God knows their heart.
i.e. if they are not truly repenting, if they just want to be saved, forgiven, and keep on sinning, that is double-minded.
Keeping, protecting, 'considering sin' (holding on to sin, to do) in their heart, being just an actor in the world's stage (hypocrite) ,
will not bring forgiveness at all.... only judgment.
