    I agree and in mark 1:15 Christ said.
    Mar 1:15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.

    Just so I can remove any doubt I have, It is heretical to say that someone must be baptised to be saved? What verse shows this in the bible.

    Those who teach we absolutely "must be water baptized to be saved" (water baptized or condemned) teach salvation through faith + works, which is heretical.

    This is true. Baptism is something we do that represents the death burial and resurrection of our Savior but it is not necessary for Salvation. Although it is the desire of our Savior for us to be baptized.

    Gospel repentance is simply "turning from" unbelief to belief, "turning from" enmity to God to love for God, "turning from" willful resistance to Christ to submission to Christ.

    The power turning us is God through regeneration, but we are turning (conversion) - "turn us O God and we shall be turned." - Hab.
