Faith in jesus produces true repentance

[@user-ep8cl3zt7n]

Repentance is a part of salvation, and Jesus did preach it. Repentance means "Change your mind" to believe in Jesus. So you need to change your mind about WHAT you believe so you could believe the right thing! And the right and saving thing is to believe that Jesus is God in human form, who lived a perfect life to represent you, Taking your sins on Him at the cross, taking the punishment you deserve so as the representative of human kind, you can be saved because the cost for your sins was payed in full For those who believe Jesus was raised from the dead. So don't go to an extreme and say we ought not include repentance in our gospel! Only define repentance RIGHTLY! It doesn't mean "try hard to stop sinning!" It means change your mind from not trusting God alone to go to heaven to believing in Him alone to be saved from hell!

[@James5877]

Repentance is more than just changing your mind about who Jesus is. Repentance is a decision that you make to turn away from your sins to follow Jesus.

[@48lilyofthevalley]

GoodNews777, 1 John 1:8 says, 'If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.' Repentance to turn from sin is not a condition of salvation. That equals works based salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 says 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.' A gift is something freely received and not earned. James 2:10 says, 'For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.' The Mosaic Law was works based salvation. To believe we must earn our way to salvation we are basically putting regressing to legalism. Besides it is impossible not to sin. Proverbs 20:9 says 'Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am cleansed from my sin"?' Romans 3:10 says 'As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one.' No one means no one! Even the best saint there is would still sin. Isaiah 64:10 says, 'But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.' It is impossible for anyone to reach God's standards on their own and to try to do so is to say Christ's payment on the cross was insufficient. Jesus paid it all! It is finished forever if you would but believe on Jesus Christ. He paid our sin debt and we have nothing to pay. John 3:36 says, 'He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.'

[@a.b.317]

Not all repentance has to do with turning away from sin. In the Old Testament God repented. Exodus 32:14 King James Version (KJV) 14 And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people

[@a.b.317]

GoodNews777 we are commanded to believe. That is it. Once you believe in your heart the Lord Jesus you experience a spiritual circumcision made without hands, putting off the sins of the flesh, you are then indwelled with the Holy Ghost, and you are immediately seated in Christ in heavenly places. This is a sealed covenant between you and your Savior Jesus Christ. Nothing you can do will separate you from Christ. He paid for all of your sins, past, present and future. All you have to do is claim that work/gift for yourself. There is no loss of salvation, but there is loss of rewards 1 Corinthians 3:15 King James Version (KJV) 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

The love of God leads us to repentance

[@terrybaumann2839]

Hey friends thanks for your comments. I was just looking some of them over then I thought I should mention something about the word repent because some are having a hard time with it in light of salvation being of grace without works. Repent has several definitions in the Greek and Hebrew. Every time repent is referenced in relationship for salvation it always means to have a change of mind. If we believe the word repent always means to turn from sin we would have heresy in our teaching, because in the old testament God repents more than man. Now we know that God doesn't sin so it's very clear that repent doesn't always mean to turn from sin. But you are right, in that a person must repent. But with the right definition for the word, a change of mind. That's the Biblical definition being used in some of the comments given. Folks are using the wrong definition. So a person must repent (have a change of mind) and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. If a person says you need to repent with the definition of turning from their sin, then they are adding a requirement of works to grace. That's a big problem because we are saved by grace not by works. Ephesians 2:8-9 and you can not mix the two otherwise you don't have grace according to Romans 11:6. So in short a person is saved by simply faith (believing, trusting, relying on) what God has done in Christ's death barrel and resurrection for our redemption without works. Works are something every believe SHOULD do. Ephesians 2:10 but should do and will do are different things entirely. The Bible gives us a very clean presentation of the separation of works from faith in Romans 4:1-5 verse 5 shows that If a person believes and doesn't do any works, His faith is counted for righteousness. Wow right! We don't deserve grace without doing something right, it doesn't seem fair right? But that's how we are saved, by grace and grace means unmerited favor. Meaning we don't deserve it. Hope this helps some my cyber friends. God bless!

[@sandragambrel9721]

@@jayandrew87 It is a sin to not believe in God. The most deadly actually. Do you understand that when we are born again, we are "dead" to sin? Sin doesn't have power over us any more. Our old man, the one that sins, is dead. We don't have to sin anymore if we "reckon" ourself as dead to sin. We have the power to "sin not" in us. What's left to do is renew our mind and learn to walk by our spirit man in us. We are a new species of "being" and we have to learn to "be", what we have become. A new "creation". Our soul didn't get born again. We have to train your mind to think the way God does and we do that by reading the Word of God. We have the Holy Spirit and a spirit, born from above, that will not sin against God since it came from Him. That's why we have to walk by our spirit man and not our old man (our old soul thinking man), cause the old man will continue to sin. We won't get him to stop sinning until we learn to keep him dead, and change the way we think about sin. Anything that is not of "faith" is sin. The flesh can repent of "sins" like he said in the video. Unbelievers can stop sinning in many areas. If they were a thief, they can stop stealing. If they were a liar, they can stop lying. If they were drunkards, fornicators, adulterers, etc. That don't make them "saved". They still have to come to "faith" in Jesus/God to be saved. Some people can overcome their flesh with their flesh, obviously. Christian still sin, even the best of them. If we say we have no sin? We deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and "cleanse" us from all unrighteousness. Confess the ones the Holy Spirit tells you to confess. Does your conscience "feel" guilty all the time? It shouldn't. When we are "in" Christ, "in faith", we are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit convicts the World of sin, believers of righteousness. Don't refuse to allow the Holy Spirit to convict you of righteousness. The Father loves us as much as He loves Jesus. When He looks at us, He see's the finished product. Not the diamond in the rough that's He's still cutting on and shinning up. We are His workmanship, not ours. Be blessed, amen!!!

But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Listed below are a few verses where "repent" or "repented" or "repentance" are in reference to *_changing your mind about continuing in sin._* That's the context: ⚫ "And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not *_repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed."_* (the apostle Paul, 2 Corinthians 12:21) ⚫ "But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. *_Repent therefore of this thy wickedness,_* and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee." (Acts 8:20-22) ⚫ "And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither *_repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts."_* (Revelation 9:20,21) ⚫ "And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and *_repented not of their deeds."_* (Rev 16:10,11) ⚫ "I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man *_repented him of his wickedness,_* saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle." (Jeremiah 8:6) ⚫ "Take heed to yourselves: *_If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him._* And *_if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him."_* (Luke 17:3,4) ⚫ "And I gave her space to *_repent of her fornication;_* and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they *_repent of their deeds."_* (Revelation 2:21,22) ⚫ "When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but *_sinners to repentance."_* (Mark 2:17) ⚫ "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one *_sinner that repenteth,_* more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance."

[@JimiSurvivor]

@Infinite Adriannn The word translated "repent" is metanoia. Although the definition literally means "to change ones mind" this alone does not capture the full sense of the word because in modern English "changing ones mind" means simply to "adopt a different opinion or plan" Surely repentance as it is used in the Bible means more than simply adopting a new view. When Paul preached repentance and faith he looked at the person's life for evidence of a complete moral and spiritual change: 20 but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing DEEDS appropriate to repentance. Acts 26:20 (NASB) So changing ones ACTIONS (pattern of decisions) is an inseparable part of repentance. Paul also said: "For GODLY SORROW produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death" (2 Corinthians 7:10 NKJV) "Godly sorrow" - being sad and regretful about our sins" is not in itself repentance. However, seeing our sins as they are brings regret and leads us to a complete change of mind will and spirit that IS repentance. A more through definition of metanoia than a mere "change of mind or opinion" can be found in any Greek Lexicon. Anyone can see this for themselves if they just bother to read past the initial (abbreviated) definition. For instance, Thayer's Greek Lexicon gives the following definition for metanoia: "to change one's mind for the better, HEARTILY to AMEND with ABHORRENCE of one's past sins" As in Acts 26:20 above this is obviously not merely about changing our mind about believing. It is about us and our way of living. The Lexicon adds that "DEEDS worthy of repentance" or "FRUIT worthy of repentance" means: "CONDUCT worthy of a heart changed and abhorring sin" No matter how much a person weeps about his sin repentance is not complete until he turns from the Old Life, rejects it and believes in Jesus. biblehub.com/greek/3340.htm We see from this that repentance is not merely about going from unbelief to belief which is why the Bible lists REPENTANCE and FAITH separately. Repentance shows us how wrong our lives are. Faith points us to the One who is our only hope of change. Now this could happen quickly or more slowly depending on how resistant the person is to the Holy Spirit.

"repentance isn't a condition for eternal life"? What??? Why did Jesus command the Apostles to preach "REPENT"? *“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”* Lk.15:7 Why is there joy in heaven when a sinner stops sinning if it isn't a condition for eternal life? Jesus taught: “Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and *if he repent, forgive him.* And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.” Lk.17:3-4. Here Jesus said that if a man sins against us, we should rebuke him. And if he repents, then we should forgive him. In other words, *IF he repents of the SIN then he should be forgiven*. *“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”* Prov. 28:13. Forsaking sin is clearly a condition to receiving God's mercy. “John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of *repentance for the remission of sins.*” Mark 1:4 John taught that REPENTANCE REMITS SINS! “And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins” Lk. 3:3 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” Acts 3:19. God does not simply want man to repent of unbelief, but of all sin. In the Bible, *repentance is often applied to man and sin,* in which case it means to change your mind *about sinning*. When it is used in connection to sin, it also means to change your mind about your *future actions*, as you determine to *sin no more*, while also a change of mind about *what you have already done...* “Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; *Repent*, and *turn yourselves from your idols*; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.” Eze. 14:6 “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. *Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions*; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.” Eze. 18:30 “Repent therefore *of this thy wickedness*, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.” Acts 8:22 “Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they *repent of their deeds*.” Rev. 2:22. Therefore if the DO REPENT OF THEIR DEEDS, they will NOT be punished. “And I gave her space to *repent of her fornication*; and she repented not.” Rev. 2:21 “And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet *repented not of the works of their hands*, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk” Rev. 9:20 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they *repented not to give him glory*.” Rev. 16:9 “And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not *of their deeds*.” Rev. 16:11

True repentance is to turn from the condemnation of the law you are under and turn to Jesus for complete redemption. This produces true repentance. The longsuffering and forbearance brings Godly sorrow. The fear was first but perfect love cast out that fear. Confess your sins doing so. They were baptized for remission of sins before they had a chance to prove in works. Did you ever pay attention to the works listed? They were indicative to receiving a influence from belief in Jesus who was merciful and just and for given and kind. The influence you will have from someone carrying your burden when you didnt deserve it or earn it. Tax collector to be fair, soldier to be merciful, one with two coats give one to who has need. Nothing about ten commandment transgressions, but rather about receiving the love of the truth. Jesus Christ alone. He should have this influence on you to change your heart in humbleness. The rest will follow as you grow in grace and truth through Him by faith. We have to believe Jesus accomplished in us what He accomplished in belief by faith. We come as a child not a know it all teenager. He builds you up because He saves you. To go back into the flesh and not believe you received by His Spirit is to not be only influenced by Jesus through our faith to believe in Him. Do not be a foolish Galatian.

I have heard many times over the years that we are saved by faith alone. Yet there is not a single verse that says that. In fact, there is a verse that says exactly the opposite.

James 2:24 (KJV) 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:24 (ASV) 24 Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith. James 2:24(NKJV) You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

That's right: repentance does not save. We receive salvation by God's grace. Question is, who receives God's mercy and grace? It's those who come to repentance, confessing and forsaking sin: ⚫ "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." (Proverbs 28:13) ⚫ "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him . . . " (Isaiah 55:7) So, what is the mercy promised in Proverbs 28:13? Our past sins will be blotted out: ⚫ "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19, NKJV) A believer - a person who through faith has come to God, confessing and forsaking sin - has been "purged from his old sins" (2 Peter 1:9). Believers have "remission of sins that are past" (Romans 3:25). Faith and believing are not the same. Abraham's example illustrates the difference. Abraham was justified to God and was deemed to be a believer becasue he acted on his faith: he obeyed and left for the promised land, and later offered Isaac. He was not justified to God "by faith only": ⚫ "But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." (James 2:20-24)

No! Repent is to turn from sin. The problem is sin. Sin shall have no dominion over you. Ephesians 2:8 is talking about being justified through works of the law, or personal works.

But this man in the video is not a servant of Jesus Christ but a false teacher and his spirit is not the Holy Spirit which will continue to teach as Jesus taught to keep his commandments, that is, if you truly love him. Ephesians 2:8 does not say disregard all of Jesus teachings and commands. It does not say repentance is works salvation or Lordship salvation.

This man in the video is denying Jesus Christ and is damaging the message of the gospel.

This man has erred in what he is saying. Yes, Salvation is by Faith alone through Grace alone is Christ alone. Nevertheless, repentance and faith goes hand in hand. It is true that the word "repentance" means to change one's mind, but its not just to change your mind about Christ. We must change our mind about sin, self, the Savior and the Sovereign Law Giver. With that change of mind it allows us to have genuine faith in Christ. This kind of teaching is what has many deceived about their salvation, thinking Jesus can be their Savior yet not their Lord. No one can be saved and not actively repent of their sins. If we change our mind about sin and who God is and what He has done the natural outcome is that we no longer want to sin. So repentance is very much necessary for salvation because if we do not change our minds towards our sin then we have no idea we need a Savior and therefore we will have a simple belief on the existence of the Lord Jesus Christ, much like what the demons have. It is repentance that separates Christians from demons and church- goers. We all believe in the existence of Jesus Christ, even in as Savior, but genuine Christians have changed their minds (repented) about their sins. Our faith is proved by our work of repentance.

[@elenanash8081]

Have you been listening to John MacArthur? Ray Comfort? How about Reverend Piper or Paul Washer? These people backload the Gospel of Jesus Christ with works.

Adding works to faith or faith to works will never result in Salvation. You don't "make" Jesus Christ Lord, He already is. You don't have the power to "make" God anything, no one does.

OH for crying out loud Bob Wilkin, I thought GES knew better! I thought you were above all this. You talk like you have never understood the root meaning of the word repent. COME ON MAN! How has the word repent come to include an specific object of the repentance (of ones sins ) when the word itself simply is translated into a root meaning of "a change of mind"? I think that the word has been abused and skewed to mean something that was never intended by the KJV translators. After all we know that in the OT, GOD himself repented many times and of course we know that God has never had any sins to repent of. When Peter talks of repentance he is urging to Jews who helped crucify Christ , to change their minds about believing on Christ as Messiah. For their salvation, He tells them to repent and believe the Gospel, NOT to repent of their sins.

[@James5877]

Repent means more than to change your mind about who God is. Repentance is a decision that you make to turn away from your sins to follow Jesus.

[@jimma9445]

I know I'm being a bit lazy, but does anyone already have a list of activities or behaviors that are defined as sinful? I want to look into myself and see if any of them exist. Thanks in advance.

[@dkgrace6743]

The list is long but sin is dealt with when we get saved and believe the correct gospel Jesus gave to Paul for us to be saved by today. Read Paul's epistles he gives a few lists of sins we should keep from. But first and most important is that we get saved. i.e. Rom 1:29, Gal 5:19-22 SALVATION: To clarify the gospel of our salvation: Our gospel that saves us today is to believe that Jesus died on the cross, shedding His blood, was buried and rose from the dead for the forgiveness of our sins. I Cor 15:1-4. That's step one. Step two: We must put our trust in this gospel for the forgiveness of our sins and nothing else, to be saved. It's that simple. Jesus did the work necessary for our salvation. We cannot. Paul puts it this way: Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, We are not saved by repenting (turning from sin), being baptized in water, walking an aisle, saying a prayer, confessing with your mouth, being “born again”, or following Jesus’ earthly ministry. Those are mostly "works" salvation. We are saved by grace not works (Rom 11:6), through faith alone, in Christ work on the cross. It is a gift 100%. Titus 3:5-6, I Cor 15:1-4 Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He came to save sinners, not people trying to make themselves righteous by doing some kind of good work, getting wet or turning from their sins, they cannot that do anyway. Simply believe and put your trust in the new gospel Paul gave us from Jesus. Then start reading Rom - Phil to understand what was written to us the body of Christ, so we could know what God wants from us and who we are in Christ, once we are saved. The books Paul wrote are the only place we find the gospel that saves us today. Then read the rest of your bible that is FOR us but not TO and ABOUT us. 94% of the bible is TO and ABOUT Israel, yes Israel. Don’t steal their mail and try to make it yours. And don’t be fooled by people who tell you, you need to do some good work to be saved or to stay saved or to prove that you are saved. That is not the gospel for us today which is a free gift of GRACE when we believe and trust in what Jesus did on the cross for our sins. Eph 2:8 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 KJV Not of works, lest any man should boast.

If you truly love, you will feel remorse when you do things wrong, not act like a spoiled, entitled, proudful brat which these doctrines teach. Repentance is part of our love for God.....it never need be discussed with anyone else, so not a brag....if feeling remorse for your sins and changing your ways is a ‘work’ to you, you’re doing something wrong. I take it you don’t repent to people in life when you are wrong. Good luck with that. Humble yourself and repent.

Those that say you can be lost after you have received the Gift of eternal life, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, are the enemies of the cross. They continually call Jesus a liar. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me HATH ETERNAL LIFE. False teachers say what Jesus said is not true. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, (everybody) that HE gave His only Begotten Son, (Jesus) that WHOSOEVER, (anybody) that believeth in Him, should not perish, but HAVE EVERLATING LIFE. First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye MAY KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. If you have eternal life now, does it only last till next week? No, Eternal life is for ever life. We are going to heaven because Jesus paid our sin debt in full. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power, to become the children of God, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME. Salvation is done, not do. It is a free gift from God. Romans 6:23. Romans 11:6 Romans 4:5 Romans 4:6-8 When we believe the gospel he imputes His righteousness to us through the Holy Spirit, and will no more impute sin to our account. We are not made righteous in the flesh, but in the Spirit. We are not righteous, but the Holy Spirit who lives in us is. First John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doeth not commit sin; for His seed, (the Holy Spirit) remaineth in Him, and he can not sin because He is born of God. We still sin, but the Spirit of God that lives in us can not sin. First John 1:8 IF we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. All believers know we are still all sinners, but Jesus paid the price for all our sin. We are justified sinners by faith alone without works of the law. Salvation is a free gift and that is the only way we can accept it. Galatians 2:21 I do not void the grace of God, if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. The law was given to show us we are all sinners to bring us to Christ for salvation by grace. AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE.

Eternal life is a promise: ⚫ "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life" (1 John 2:25). We have not yet received eternal life; we're all going to die. We will receive eternal life at Jesus' return, as Paul explained in 1 Cor 15:50-54 and 1 Thess 4:13-17. After we have received eternal life, from then on we will have eternal security. We'll have salvation. Meanwhile in this mortal life we have "the hope of salvation" as Paul wrote: ⚫ "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ" (Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 5:8,9). And Here's Peter, saying we "shall be" saved: ⚫ "But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they." (Acts 15: 11; Peter, speaking to apostles and elders about future salvation for both themselves and Gentiles) And here's Paul, again, and note: justified now . . . "shall be saved" later: ⚫ "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." (Paul, in Romans 5:9) Trouble is, *so many have been misled to believe they are already "saved," done deal.* No! We may be in justification, but we can "fall away" from justification. We can "fail of the grace of God" (Heb 12:15). We can be "cast forth as a branch . . . cast into the fire . . . and burned" as Jesus warned. For that "through him" to work, we must abide in Him: ⚫ "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." (Jesus, in John 15:6) We have many more warnings . . . to "give diligence to make your calling and election sure" (2 Peter 1:10,11) . . . to remain "in His goodness" or else be "cut off" (Romans 11:21,22 . . . to fear: ⚫ "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." (Hebrews 4:1) These are not idle warnings. They are written to believers. Trouble is, folks who have been told they are already "saved,"-done deal-DISMISS these warnings. The warnings "must be for someone else . . . I'm already saved." We can enter justification by having our past sins blotted out, so they no longer separate us (Isaiah 59:1,2) from God. How do we have our past sins blotted out? By God's mercy and grace, promised to them who *through* faith (Eph 2:8) choose to "come to God" (Hebrews 11:6) on His terms, in repentance: ⚫ "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." (Proverbs 28:13) ⚫ "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19, NKJV). I should mention: obviously our sins REMAIN *-not blotted out-* until we come to repentance. The popular misconception-that our sins were "all paid for" and blotted out *when Jesus died on the cross,* is gross error. Jesus made His death, His blood, *available* to cover our death penalty. Outside of repentance, we will perish, without mercy, without redemption: we'll pay our own death penalty. That's why Jesus warned: ⚫ "except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Jesus, in Luke 13:5) So, how do we enter "the presence of the Lord"? By the gift of the holy spirit, given "to them that obey him" (Acts 5:32) and "repent" (Acts 2:38). As we abide in Him in repentance, walking "after the spirit" we remain in justification, not under condemnation. As we remain in justification, we have the "hope" and "promise" of salvation. With His blood, He continues to cover new sins we might commit: ⚫ "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Romans 8:1) . . . "are in," present tense . . . not "once were in." "Walk," present tense. ⚫ "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7) "IF" we "walk in the light" . . . present tense. "Cleanseth" us, present tense. Remember in Romans 5:9 Paul wrote "being now justified" . . . not "having been" justified! Our walk and our justification are very much active, in the present. If we return to sin, no longer in repentance, no longer abiding in Him, we return to condemnation. We are no longer in justification. We no longer have the "hope" and "promise" of eternal life. We have many warnings NOT to let that happen. Essentialy I'm not saying you can "lose your salvation"; once you actually receive the gift of eternal life at Jesus' return, it cannot be lost. I'm saying in this mortal life we are not "saved" yet; we're in justification, with the "hope of salvation," but we can "fall away" from justification and be "cut off." It is possible for us to return to condemnation, no longer "in his goodness" or grace. That's what those warnings are all about.

So strong a repentance that it is very hard for the children of God to sin, let alone live in constant sinful lifestyle, like that of adultery or homosexuality. The baptism of the Spirit is from my Master.

These men are preaching the truth of the bible. The Gospel. First Corinthians 15:3-4 That Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures. That He was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. Do you believe that He died for all you sins? Not just the ones you have done,. or the ones you are doing, or the ones you will do, but all of them. If He did not pay for all of our sins no one could be saved, because we all sin. Many will come before the Lord on that day and tell Him about all their good works and how they kept His laws. They are boasting in themselves in how wonderful they are and believe that God should let them in to heaven on their own merit. But Jesus says, depart from me ye that work iniquity, I never knew you, not I did know you and now I don't, I never knew you. Matthew 7:21 tells us why they were not saved. They never did the will of the Father. What is the will of the Father? John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that all that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. So people who believe they are saved because they keep Gods laws and do good works are not saved. Only those that have trusted Jesus as the only way of salvation by grace. Romans 11:6 Salvation is all grace, not works, if it was by works, (what we do or do not do) then it is no more grace, and if by grace, it is no more works. We can not mix law or works with grace. Gods grace is sufficient for all our sin. Jesus is the narrow way because their is no other way. We can only be saved by what he did, His blood sacrifice has purged our sin. We are now sinless even though we still sin. We are not made perfect in the flesh but in the Spirit. Ephesians 1:13. If you have ever trusted Jesus as your only way of salvation Through what HE did for us on the cross, then you are going to heaven because of what He did, not by anything we do or do not do. our works. We all sin because we are not perfect, but Jesus has counted us righteous by faith alone. Romans 4:5. A saved person can not go to hell if they wanted to because we have no sins to pay for, Jesus already paid for them all. First John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. But we have to believe it one time to be saved forever.

But does he say it stops there? No way. Please read the words of the Son of God before you read Saul's additional words. Read John 17 and ask yourself if Jesus had more to say to us or if his work was done like he said it was. Saul seems to have convinced many that he is their master and that he had the authority to change Jesus' perfect message only a few decades after his victory on the cross.....SMH. The concept of the bible is not found in the bible. Its a man made idea created by men whose contents were chosen by men and failed to include scripture quoted by Jesus and his apostles.

[@jimkraft9445]

Right on brothers. Repent. The Greek word metanoia. It means a change of mind. We change our mind from trusting in what we do to save us, to trusting totally in what He did to save us. God repented and changed His mind and did not destroy Nineveh. Paul repented in second Corinthians 7:8. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. No where does it say to repent of sin for salvation by grace. We repent, change our mind from trusting in our works, to Jesus finished work on the cross. If repenting of sin would save us, then Jesus died in vain. Jesus died to pay our sin debt in full so we would not have to go to hell to pay for them. John 3:18 Believers are no longer condemned, but unbelievers are condemned already because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God. Once we believe we are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 1:13-14 and Ephesians 4:30. John 10:28-29 There is no power in heaven or earth that can pluck me from His hand.

SALVATION: To clarify the gospel of our salvation: Our gospel that saves us today is to believe that Jesus died on the cross, shedding His blood, was buried and rose from the dead for the forgiveness of our sins. I Cor 15:1-4. That's step one. Step two: We must put our trust in this gospel for the forgiveness of our sins and nothing else, to be saved. It's that simple. Jesus did the work necessary for our salvation. We cannot. Paul puts it this way: Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, We are not saved by repenting (turning from sin), being baptized in water, walking an aisle, saying a prayer, confessing with your mouth, being “born again”, or following Jesus’ earthly ministry. Those are mostly "works" salvation. We are saved by grace not works (Rom 11:6), through faith alone, in Christ work on the cross. It is a gift 100%. Titus 3:5-6, I Cor 15:1-4 Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He came to save sinners, not people trying to make themselves righteous by doing some kind of good work, getting wet or turning from their sins, they cannot that do anyway. Simply believe and put your trust in the new gospel Paul gave us from Jesus. Then start reading Rom - Phil to understand what was written to us the body of Christ, so we could know what God wants from us and who we are in Christ, once we are saved. The books Paul wrote are the only place we find the gospel that saves us today. Then read the rest of your bible that is FOR us but not TO and ABOUT us. 94% of the bible is TO and ABOUT Israel, yes Israel. Don’t steal their mail and try to make it yours. And don’t be fooled by people who tell you, you need to do some good work to be saved or to stay saved or to prove that you are saved. That is not the gospel for us today which is a free gift of GRACE when we believe and trust in what Jesus did on the cross for our sins. Eph 2:8 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 KJV Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Repentance is to change your mind from what ever you were trusting in, your works, or whatever, and trust in Jesus alone by faith alone. He is the only way to be saved. There is no other way. Jesus paid it all and we paid 0. It is free. Romans 11:6 Justification is by faith alone without works. Repenting from sin saves no one. Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone gives us eternal life.

If faith was a work it could not be used in that same sentence. Ephesians 1:13 I have been sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise unto the praise of HIs glory, not mine, unto the day of redemption.

Acts 8:22, of THY wickedness,. Yes, unbelief, but sins is replete throughout the Scriptures, and God calls people to turn from themselves and idols, to the Living God. It isn't just a NT concept to turn from sins to the Living God. It isn't a perfect, all sins, which was a misconception I was believing. The Rich Young man, had an idol, which was his possessions. He was to repent of that. You see, context, and no Scripture is of private interpretation. John doesn't have repent, but John 3 shows people who love will turn from darkness to light. That is leaving darkness to enter life. The Serpent illustration, read the Numbers 21 passage. People sinned, God sent judgment, they repented of their sins, confessed, and looked to the serpent God told Moses to erect, when they did they were saved. Unbelief they repent of, true, which is sin, but also if they have something they are holding onto, they must be willing to have God as God, follow Him, and turn from idolatry. If they are a homosexual, they must be willing to turn from homosexuality. Whatever is an idol basically, turn to God from whatever or whoever you are following to follow the Lord. I also thought repentance of sins was works of men, when the truth is it is a work of God, seen in Acts 11:18. See Paul Washer, Paul Flynn for details. We have lost what the the men of old preached, which helps ecumenism heresy today. Easy believism is not Biblical. The Scriptures teach repent, even of idols to come to Christ, not all, but what is known. God does this. People get saved in spite of bad gospels, but the truth is in Scripture, not that man in the video.

it really says something that the gospel is so complicated! only answer is demonic complications. could it be as simple as a person who has new life then seeks the things of God? they love God's Word, the people of God, their new family, desire to grow in their faith, to go deeper, to not sin, to think about a new world view...all these things demonstrate new life yes? i have seen men living with a woman, and instead of telling him to not do this or that, let the Spirit of God work and he will then say, "I am living in sin...I must stop this!" That is evidence of new life...to not sin and obey God and seek God's heart and mind.

The Apostle Paul preaching in Athens … “The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). The Apostle Paul teaching to the Ephesian Elders … “I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Acts 20:20, 21) The Apostle Paul preaching before King Agrippa … “Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, but declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance.

@@watchmanendtimes Change your mind: about continuing in sin. Do that, and we are promised His mercy: ⚫ "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." (Proverbs 28:13) ⚫ "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him . . . " (Isaiah 55:7) Then your past sins will be blotted out: ⚫ "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19, NKJV). What are the "times of refreshing" in "the presence of the Lord"?

Those who *through* faith (Ephesians 2:8) then choose to obey and "come to God" (Hebrews 11:6) on his terms, confessing and forsaking sin. For that, their past sins are erased and they receive the gift of the holy spirit: ⚫ "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30) ⚫ "And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him."

The number of incorrect sentences in this video are very high. Namely on repentance, Jesus says, “Unless ye repent ye shall all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:3, Luke 13:5). Also, The Word of God says that faith alone is dead, so maybe add some True repentance, turning from sin and turning to Jesus Christ who Loved us to die for us, “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” - James‬ ‭2:17‬.

Romans 3 9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one Romans 5 19 For as by one man's (Adam) disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one (Jesus Christ) shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.

Rom 10 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom11 6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 1john1:8 8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

[@tristanhnl]

It doesn't mean if the very word "repent" is not found in Galatians, that repentance is not necessary for salvation. The **CONCEPT** most assuredly is!!! And lest we forget, we need to read the ENTIRE counsel of scripture. Yes, faith is all that's needed for salvation, but HOW does one arrive at that point of faith that then results in salvation? A person needs to come to God knowing, acknowledging and agreeing with Him that they have sinned in the eyes of a holy God and therefore NEEDS salvation to begin with. That's why 2nd Cor 7:10 says that godly sorrow works repentance unto salvation. When we realise the problem we are in because of our sins, we then reach out to God and believe in His finished work at Calvary, for it to be put on our account. The type of teaching that Bob presents in the video is so incredibly dangerous. For him to say repentance is not necessary, is exactly why you see people in the world who say "ok, go ahead God, save me, and get me to Heaven. BUT....I have no desire to abandon my sins and I have no desire to follow You. I don't see my sins as a problem, so I'm going to continue living in them. But remember, God, I'm putting my faith in you despite this attitude I have towards You and sin. So save me, get me to Heaven while I live carefree in sin, ..." People don't verbally say that, but that's *EXACTLY* what they think in their minds and feel in their hearts. That's why there are so many people walking around calling themselves Christians, but their lives show that they don't have the light of Christ in their lives and hearts (see 1st John about that...). Also consider Romans 10:9. In order to be saved, you MUST confess the LORD Jesus. What does that mean? It means acquiescing to Jesus as LORD! You must recognise Him as the Boss, the One who calls the shots. So if He calls sin sin, and says that it's wrong and puts sinners in trouble in the eyes of a holy God, His word is what goes, and is what applies. The attitude I talked about above where people want God to save them and get them to Heaven, while living in sin and rebelling against Him, is the exact opposite of submitting to God as LORD. Such sinners are the lords, masters of their own lives. They call the shots in their own lives. **I AM NOT SAYING SUBMITTING TO JESUS AS LORD MEANS DOING WORKS TO BE SAVED** . I am saying a person needs the right *SUBMISSIVE ATTITUDE AND HEART* , the attitude that says "yes, I am in trouble with God because of my sins, and I therefore need and want His salvation". Only when a person has this right attitude can they be saved. Otherwise, they're in open rebellion (in sin) against God while asking for Him to save them. That's false conversion. So yes, faith is all you need to be saved, but before you even arrive to that point of faith, you need to repent (change one's mind about sin and needing Jesus to save us from our sins).

[@thehatoftinwithin4539]

There is no one who is fully committed all the time, there is no perfect man, no one who is constantly faithful. Even the disciples who walked with Christ doubted him. All we can do is believe in his righteousness and his faithfulness and that belief will produce himself in us. Don't trust in men and their level of righteousness required for salvation. God will give you His and your level of righteousness is between you and God alone. Repentance is a one time requirement of God and it's God that leads us to it and once we agree we need His Sons life He saves us. Eternal life is born and you have become immortal you cannot die.

SPECIAL TOPIC: REPENTANCE (NT) Repentance (along with faith) is a covenant requirement of both the Old Covenant (Nacham, BDB 636, KB 688, e.g., Exod. 13:17; 32:12,14; Shuv, BDB 996, KB 1427, e.g., 1 Kgs. 8:47; Ezek. 14:6; 18:30; see Special Topic: Repentance [OT]) and the New Covenant. 1. John the Baptist (Matt. 3:2; Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3,8) 2. Jesus (Matt. 4:17; Mark 1:15; Luke 5:32; 13:3,5; 15:7; 17:3) 3. Peter (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 8:22; 11:18; 2 Pet. 3:9) 4. Paul (Acts 13:24; 17:30; 20:21; 26:20; Rom. 2:4; 2 Cor. 2:9-10) But what is repentance? Is it spiritual sorrow? Is it a cessation of sinning? The best place in the NT for understanding the different connotations of this concept is 2 Corinthians 7:8-11, where three related, but different, Greek terms are used. 1. "sorrow" (lupeō, cf. vv. 8 [twice], 9 [thrice], 10 [twice], 11). It means grief or distress and has a theologically neutral connotation. 2. "repentance" (metanoeō, cf. vv. 9,10). It is a compound of "after" and "mind," which implies a new mind, a new way of thinking, a new attitude toward life and God. This is true repentance. 3. "regret" (metamelomai, cf. vv. 8 [twice], 10). It is a compound of "after" and "care." It is used of Judas in Matt. 27:3 and Esau in Heb. 12:16-17. It implies sorrow over the consequences, not over the acts. Repentance and faith are the required covenant acts (cf. Mark 1:15; Acts 2:38,41; 3:16,19; 20:21). There are some texts which imply that God gives repentance (cf. Acts 5:31; 11:18; 2 Tim. 2:25). But most of the texts see this as a necessary human covenantal response to God's offer of a free salvation. The definitions of both the Hebrew and Greek terms are required to grasp the full meaning of repentance. The Hebrew term demands "a change of action," while the Greek term demands "a change of mind." The saved person receives a new mind and heart (cf. Ezek. 36:26-27). He thinks differently and lives differently. Instead of "What's in it for me?" the question is now "What is God's will?" Repentance is not an emotion that fades or a total sinlessness, but a new relationship with the Holy One that transforms the believer progressively into a holy one. It is not so much what one ceases doing or gives up, but a new focus or direction in life. The Fall causes us all to face self but the gospel allows us to face God.
