Featured What is Biblical repentence?

Yet another Calvinist misinterpreting Romans 7:14-25. No born again Christian is "sold under sin" or brought "into captivity to the law of sin". Christians have been redeemed by the blood of Christ and have been made free from the law of sin and death (Rom 8:2).

 

Repentance is a change of heart (will, mind and emotions). It is the change of emotions from the love of darkness to the love of light. It is the change of mind from unbelief to belief. It is the change of will from resistance to submission. Repentance is a gift of God as it is the experiential side of regeneration. Regeneration is the power that changes the heart.

I don't believe in Lordship Salvation as defined by John MacArthur. I believe in perseverance in saving faith (1 Jn. 2:19) and preservation of the saints, but I do not believe in perseverance in good works by the saints, unless we are talking about variable degrees according to progressive sanctification.

 

Is the following, "Biblical Repentance"?

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Heb 8:9,10

Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 1 Kings 18:37

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; Romans 8:20 NKJV

Is the repentance toward God the hope spoken of above?

Please compare to:

Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Peter 1:20
