    No one here on this board or anywhere else that advocates repentance of sin in salvation advocates what you have posted here.


    When will people stop working to ententionally misrepresenting opposing views. Shame on you.

    You need to study more about repentance. Here is a place to start:

    Actually it is you who does and who holds to the unorthodox view of it. Of course you ignore the fact that you intentionally misrepresent our view.

    Don't fault me simply because you have not been paying attention.

    No one does. What I fault you for is misrepresnting the view of those you disagree with.

    What do you mean repent of that particular sin?
    Again, what do you mean repenting of sins here? What work are you referring to?

    1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
    --This is written to believers, not unbelievers.
    It says sins, meaning particular sins. Each day as I come to the Lord I must confess the sins I have committed. If I don't; if sin comes between me and God, then my fellowship with God will be broken.
    Psalm 66:18: If I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me.
    This scripture applies to Christians or believers, not to the unsaved.
    An unbeliever cannot repent of particular sins can he? He must repent of a sinful lifestyle. He must have a change of heart. See what the word metanoia means.

    Am I the only one who sees this thread as ludicrous? Points were made and made clearly. No one should wonder what the other view is "thinking".

    If I'm in error, I repent. But have to say I'm holding my breath that this will hit 10 pages and BE SHUT DOWN. :thumbsup:

    I'm assuming your answer is he must have a change of heart. If so, then you are correct. It also shows that repentance involves no works, so there you were again very incorrect to say that it was works based salvation.

    Biblical repentance involves no works. Not for the believer nor the unbeliever. The word in the Bible literally means to change one's mind. Unbelievers must repent of their sin. This doesn't mean they do any actions. The actions will come as a result of true repentance. So again, saying works salvation isn't true since no works have to be done. Works are a natural result of true repentance.

    Why am I not surprised that you not only twist my words, but Scripture itself. You clearly cannot understand simple statements, nor can you read between lines, or exegete.

    One of your problems is that you define repentance as one must state each and every sin they've ever committed for all time (or you at the least force such a definition into those of us who KNOW the true Biblical meaning) thus you misunderstand my use of eidetic as well. I repented, given from God, all sin washed in the blood, so 'thus' it was eidetic.

    Get it yet? :)

    You'll find it betwixt verses 29 and 31 in Acts chapter 17....

    Repent, yes. But he never tells them to repent of all their sins.
    The definition of repentance is what is key here.
    As Dr. Bob has observed, our positions have been clearly laid out. There ought to be no confusion on this subject.

    There is the repentance that leads to life (Acts 11:18; 2 Cor. 7:10) and ongoing repentance throughout the Christian life (Jas. 5:16: 1 Jn. 1:8-9).

    Luther rightly said, "All of life is repentance."

    Acts 11:18 is a good verse for "repentance that leads to life," but not 2Cor.7:10. There Paul is writing to believers at Corinth.

    2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
    11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

    "This matter" was the matter described in 1Cor.5:1-5, about the incestuos man, whom they disciplined out of the church. They sorrowed after him, after the action they had to take. Their godly sorrow along with prayer eventually led to his sorrow over his sin and his repentance.
    The context here is entirely about believers. Only a believer can have "godly sorrow."
