Now if the passage read 'we are being justified', then we ought to have a problem. Salvation is a compound of several elements: election, regeneration, repentance, justification, sanctification, glorification. We have been saved, are being saved, will be saved. These things are all true. Election, regeneration, justification are done, sanctification is ongoing, glorification is to come.

This pastor is playing with words, hearing what he wants to hear and feeding his bias for KJV.
