A Participle can be either a NOUN or a VERB thus it is called a "verbal noun"
Passive voice simply means it recieves the action
Present is similar to the english "present tense" as a fact or reality that occurs in time.
Present is similar to the english "present tense" as a fact or reality that occurs in time.
The past tense in english might be rendered as "historical presents" in the greek think, of it as kind of viewing the action occur. These can be rendered into english as simply Past tense or present tense.
All that to get to the bottom of something like this.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already
I think it is pretty evident what it means! No Greek needed!

The same goes for Kevin; he needs your help, too.

You have read something into the text that is not there and have made a straw man to knock down. The word sanctification does not necessarily mean an action being performed; the same word is used in 1 Cor 7:14 for an unbelieving wife who is sanctified (set apart, consecrated) by the faith of her husband. In this sense "sanctified" means something entirely different from what you describe. So IOW "By one offering Jesus has perfected for ever them that are set apart, consecrated (or sanctified)."
