Proverbs 18:13 KJV He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, It is folly and shame unto him. To further elaborate : I never said you don’t have to repent. I said you do not have to “repent of your sins” to go to heaven. You don’t have to turn from sin to go to heaven. You do have to repent and believe. (Turn from what you were believing to believing In Jesus Christ.) Yes we should repent of our sins and ask for forgiveness. But the only thing that takes us to heaven is what Jesus did on the cross! It’s nothing that we have done. It’s all about what he has done.

Matthew 4:17 - From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Kinda makes me think Jesus did want repentance from us.

You are in error. Repentance is a necessary act for salvation. To turn from your sins is to turn toward God. ‘Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect.’ Do not spread lies, dear one. Your responsibility before God is great. The more people you influence in this sin, the more accountable you are to God.

Repentance is a sign of salvation. If you think you're saved and still love or don't feel the need to repent for your sin, you're probably not saved. The desire to please God is a fruit of salvation. We will reap the relationship with our Father that we will have in Heaven, with what we sow here. Those who reject him here and don't want him will have that for eternity in Hell, which saddens him. If we seek him here, we will be in his presence for eternity. Not by works, by us seeking him. I don't wanna be in the farthest bleachers in heaven watching our Lord from afar, no matter what it'll be better than Hell, but I want to be in his presence for eternity.

Daily repentance demonstrates you understand the Gospel, desire to follow Jesus, whereby you bear fruit by the Spirit’s work through your life.

As a Pastor, I can see your ability to cherry pick verses to prove your point is a skill you've practiced. You ignore all the verses that literally say, you must repent, in order to make your opinion seem valid. Yes, you must repent of your sins to be saved. Following your line of logic, a serial killer who never gets caught, yet is baptized and believes goes to heaven. Which is another point you're wrong on, you don't just believe to go to heaven, apparently you missed the verse where Jesus himself said you must be baptized....Your incorrect teaching could lead people to eternity in hell, if you care about the salvation of others, please make sure you know what you're talking about before advising others....following your advice to get to heaven is like hiring Alec Baldwin as a firearms safety instructor brother.

You’re in error, my brother. Keep studying and praying, God will help you.

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins”. Acts 2:38 I’ll listen to Peter over you.

You are in deep error and are leading people astray by this video. The gospel clearly teaches that you need to repent out of obedience to the gospel of Christ. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and Galatians.

Sugar coat the Gospel. But what is written is written and you can't change it. Repentance is obeying God's command . Obedience is better than sacrifice. Repentance is obeying God's order.. You can twist it all you want . Satan himself believes in God..

The plan of salvation is actually given in Acts 2:38, now, this passage of Scripture is just the starting point. Also, John 3:5 states that unless you're born again from the water and the Spirit, you will not inherit the kingdom of heaven... Now, how does everything start? Repentance. From the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, repentance is mentioned countless times.

Peter, in Acts 2, being full of the Holy Spirit, gives a sermon testifying to the nature of Jesus and when they asked him what they should do his response was, " and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ , and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38) If you do not repent, your sins will not be forgiven and the Holy Spirit will not dwell in an unrepentant heart. Repentance is believing in Jesus, it is not a work just as being born again is not a work. These things are a matter of the heart which no man can see but God does see the intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) Baptism is a work that we are called to do to show others that we have repented and believe in Jesus, much in the same way that a wedding ring shows others that you are married. It is not the ring that makes you married it is the commitment in your heart. I would encourage you to study the Word of God more thoroughly so that you do not inadvertently cause others to stumble or follow a false doctrine.

False teaching, JESUS gave us warning false teacher's would come in the later days, so much so that HIS first warning was "DO NOT BE DECEIVED

I respect the way you bring up your points. Here's my counterpoint. The book of John shows the Pharisees constantly rejecting Jesus and refusing to believe in him. Why? Because of their sin. They love their pride, their glory before men. In order to turn to Jesus, they would have to, like Nicodemus, be willing to drop their pride, or in other words, repent of it. The human heart is contrary to God, and believing in Jesus is to get into the boat with him because you recognize you are drowning. It seems to me that belief without repentance can never amount to truly getting into the boat with Jesus, as you have to willingly reject your stone heart to receive the heart of Jesus (Ezekiel 36:25-27, Rom 6:1-11). You're either holding the boat but not climbing in, or intellectually affirming that the boat exists, but you never truly escape the ocean. The only result can be suppressing the spirit because you don't truly wish to live a new life. As for repentance being a work, since you're clearly baptist, do you believe in regeneration? That our repentance is a fruit of the Holy Spirit working in/on us before we ever become a believer? In that case, repentance is not a work of ourselves, but a work of God in us.

"Faith without works is dead"

Repent...to change your MIND/HEART

‭Luke 13:1-5 KJV‬ [1] There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. [2] And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things? [3] I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. [4] Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? [5] I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. .. Repentance is required is not a work. It's also required.

Repentance isn’t a work, it is a changing of mind. It is a part of faith

12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. Titus. There is the leaving of sin. Of getting our minds renewed. “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Do we yield to our sin nature? I hope you are not suggesting there is no turning from sin as a Christian. Because that is what I am hearing from you. Please explain to us.

Repentance of your sins but being sincere about it in your heart is the key and obeying and trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ that he will deliver you from your sinful ways and giving you a new life.

Young man: you are sadly misinterpreting Scripture. Repentance IS required of us all. Scripture says: "All must repent" Satan is lying to you - you are misleading yourself and others.

Scripture doesn’t mention us going to heaven, we shall reign with HIM from the new Jerusalem, the kingdom of The Almighty… believing alone gets us nowhere, Ha satan believes! It’s seeking The Most High with all our strength all our heart with all our soul…. It’s walking in HIS ways, keeping HIS commandments. We can’t just live as we like… believe and be saved! Read all scripture and apply it to your life… not once saved always saved, if we turn away and fall into perpetual sin and do not return to The Most High and turn away from sin, we are lost! Faith without works is dead ,,, we don’t do works for salvation but through salvation, through grace in faith, we change over time and through that change we speak and act differently to what we used to, through our faith we work in obedience to The Most High’s commandments in scripture.. we need to read the whole of scripture, seeking The Most High, examining ourselves, turning away from all that doesn’t give glory to The Most High, denying self, surrendering to The Most High,, not cherry picking out scripture that what we think it’s saying to suit “our”self,, seek The Creator and read His word, test all things, trust no man! 📖🙏

I've always understood the word "repent" to mean turning away from sin and resolving to live in union with Christ. Sin is anything opposed to Christ, so by repenting you're necessarily turning towards Christ. This of course requires you to believe in his saving grace, so believing and repenting are essentially the same thing.

From the book of Luke (below)... 39 One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed, “So you’re the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself-and us, too, while you’re at it!” 40 But the other criminal protested, “Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? 41 We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn’t done anything wrong.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” 43 And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.” One criminal repented one didn't.... Figure it out.

I think repenting from your sin is part of the salvation process. Coming to the knowledge that Jesus is your savior and king and believing in Him will cause one to turn from their sin and try to live according to the way Jesus wants us to live. Merely mouthing belief in Jesus but showing no signs of repentance and living a life without any change to your behavior would put into question if one truly believes in Him in the first place? And once saved always saved?...I don't believe that. I think one could fall away and totally reject Christ therefore losing their salvation...iow's knowingly rejecting the gift of salvation.

Thank you for the video brother! You are such blessing. Keep up the good work! All glory to God.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. This is very very clear, you are teaching a false doctrine sir and if YOU don’t repent and change YOUR mind, you and anyone who believes this lie will have to hear “I never knew you, depart from me, you workers of LAWLESSNESS”. Matthew 7:23 I pray you ask God to reveal His truth to you before it’s everlasting too late.

Read Luke 18 regarding the sinner who prayed asking for forgiveness and mercy …. You are taking words out of context …. read Matthew, Mark, and Luke talk about repentance … yes believe and repent

When God Says Repent I understand It him Saying Is there a thing he would do wrong That would require Repentance?? Since God Is Perfect I Repent Each Day Because I Understand Why he Is Perfect And I am not.. It's Also Because I fear The Lord Aswell God Bless ❤️

Repent… change your mind…. When you change your mind ,, it changes your actions, attitude and words .. Also teachers be careful as you are under more judgement,, 🙏📖

Luke 13:3 -"And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God." If you don't repent, you are not sorry. What do you need a Savior for if it isn't because you're guilty of... SIN? Quote mining is NOT good exegesis. (2 Timothy 2:15)

Salvation/Justification for the unbeliever/sinner...Romans 3:24,25,26, (AKJV)

God bless you, don’t let these unsaved devils bring you down with their self righteousness. God’s perfect sacrifice is enough to save us. The narrow path isn’t hard because you have do works to earn salvation. It is hard because not many want to have faith alone in Christ alone.

You are clearly a very wise young man, I wish my own sons were as passionate and thoughtful towards God’s Word. You have a gift and have brought forward a discussion to push us to delve deep within the Word. Let us not turn on each other, but encourage one another in love. May we sharpen one another as iron sharpens iron. But then is repentance a “work” we must perform in order to earn our salvation? Not at all! Repentance and faith are really two sides of the same coin. Repentance is turning from sin. Faith is turning to, trusting in, and relying on Christ. Repentance is not a “work” anymore than faith is: we simply renounce our sin and rely on Christ.” Then Jesus said unto His disciples, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. According to the unanimous testimony of Scripture, repentance is absolutely necessary in order to be saved. Only those who turn from their sin, trust in Christ, and live lives that are characterized by righteousness will be saved on the last day. Peter said, “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)

Nice kid but his message is logical Swiss cheese… In the vast majority of the word repentance in the Bible, the context is with regards to sin… Just like in the book of Jonah with the Ninevites…

Repentance which is turning from the earthly ways is part of it. BUT yes to be saved one must believe on the one that was sent. Once done you should wish to turn away from the ways you should be ashamed of, THAT TURNING is repentance. And done in gratitude. Not for salvation. It is growing and gaining in Christ. It also says when you begin you should wait years before you are able to teach. So chill, You are messing up. sorry.

You're on the right track young man. Your theology and your understanding of Christ and the Bible will become more wise. Like anything. So remember that when you leave something like this on your record forever. Maybe try videos of talking about it, rather than saying you are right. I am 45, and was saved at 43. I lived a life in the darkness, and thought I was a good person. I was just a sinner like you and everyone else. Every time we try to make the path wider to Heaven, we are saying Jesus just didn't know the way to Heaven could be widened. Like I said, you are on the right track. Just don't put something out there, you may not believe in a year from now when your brain is more developed and you have meditated on the Lord more.

Biblical “Repentance” with regard to people mainly means to stop living according to your sinful, natural instincts, and start living in light of God’s laws and statutes… Psalm 119 gives example after example after example of this scenario playing out… All 176 verses in that chapter. People are hybrid creatures… Half animal and half spiritual… If we disregard God‘s laws, we will live like animals (the old man), but if we live, according to God‘s laws, we will live like Christians (the new man). Renew your minds is the mandate of scripture… A good quote that I heard is “people need to be reminded more than they need to be instructed“. This is why we need to be in the word every day, to remind ourselves of what it says. No man can perfectly obey the laws of God that’s why we flee to Christ and the New Testament… Repentance towards God is what we learn in the Old Testament and belief in Jesus Christ and his perfect life credited to our account as what we believe in the New Testament.

You are wrongly defining repentance. Many understand the term repentance to mean “a turning from sin.” Regretting sin and turning from it are related to repentance, but are not the precise meaning of the word. In the Bible, the word repent means “to change one’s mind.” The Bible also tells us that true repentance will result in a change of actions (Luke 3:8-14; Acts 3:19). In summarizing his ministry, Paul declares, “I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds” (Acts 26:20). The short biblical definition of repentance is “a change of mind that results in a change of action.”

You are misleading whoever following you as you lack understanding. Acts 3:19: "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." 2 Corinthians 7:10: "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." Luke 13:3: "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Acts 17:30: "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent." Matthew 4:17: "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." This is from Christ himself 😮 Mark 1:15: "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." There is no turning away without belief. Acts 2:38: "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Repentance is necessary for salvation. There is no belief of you don't follow the laws. Mess around and God say I never knew you. Also you misquoted Ephesians Grace through Faith: Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches that salvation is a gift from God: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." It is not earned through good works but received through faith in Christ. Faith is Christ requires REPENTANCE!!! A ACTION. Something you do not think. It's levels to it. Time will show you what you truly believe.

By faith in Jesus God's grace and by doing the will of the father you are saved

Works are actions. Actions have consequences. Whether they are evil works or good works. Repentance is not a work, it is a confession.

Amen it is the gift of God not of ourselves!

What is dead faith?

There are a number of issues with what you are “preaching.” 1. You presuppose a univocality in the texts of the Bible. 2. You pick and choose what you’d like and throw out the rest. 3. You are presupposing that Repent meant the same in Hebrew and Greek. 4. In Jonah it was talking about works as in what they did, not as in works unto salvation. It just is translated to “what they did” not their works. 5. You are understanding scripture with a 2024 perspective. Grace, Faith, Works during Paul’s time were economic terms used to convey Patron/Client relationships. That is why most scholars are leaning towards Salvation from Allegiance only, which would include both faith and works.

Repent means to turn away from it. We need to put our faith in God then it we truly have faith we'll repent The demons and devil believe in God, but they don't place their faith in God. They're not going to be in the Kingdom of Heaven

While those who are saved may go though seasons of un-repentance, always being un-repentant is a sign of a un-regenerate heart. You must believe AND repent, you cannot do one but not the other. Mark 1:14-15 (14). Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, (15) and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

I think the phrase " repent of your sins and believe in christ" started off as meaning to CHANGE your ways and not to CONTINUE to sin ( or at least try your best not to ) and beleive in christ. But has recently been incorrectly used as repent and ask forgiveness for every sin you ever committed

Even satan believes in Jesus.

Well done

Repentance is a turning away. If you do not want to turn away from things of the world then you are an enemy of God.

Right you are about not having to repent of our sins to be saved. Now, regarding believing...who authors and finishes our faith?

Keep doing this brother. Don't let the wolves and devils in the comments discourage you. Much love. Good day.

I’m sorry, man. If we don’t repent then we weren’t sorry for what we did. You’re trying to justify a false gospel. Romans talks a lot about it. ”What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin- because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I see your heart my brother, you mean well and I believe God will build you up even more for so well. But I am moved to clarify this. We don’t turn from sin to earned salvation - but we do turn away from sin because we have been given salvation. Believing on The Lord Jesus will produce repentance. And while our Lord DOES sympathize with us, our Lord is also disgusted with sin and His desire for us is to learn to love what He loves and hate what He hates, to live how He lived and even die how He died, to be raised up the way He was raised. Salvation is not just about going to heaven, it’s about being made new. So we SHOULD DESIRE to repent (change our mind and actions).

James 2:19. "You believe there is one God. You do well! Even the demons believe and tremble." Luke 4:34 The demons who call out to Jesus believe that he is "The Holy One of God" I could go on and on. To believe in Jesus does not simply mean to believe in His existence. It means to believe that His finished work on the cross through His shed blood is sufficient for our sins to be forgiven. But as I posted earlier, 1 John 1:9 stipulates the confession of sins to receive that cleansing from unrighteousness. It is that step that demonstrates the faith you refer to in Ephesians 2:8,9.

Having faith in Jesus requires taking steps of faith like repentance because now you have faith, in Jesus, that He has forgiven your sins. We, as Christians, need to be very careful when we are telling someone what they can or can't do to get to heaven because sir, if you are wrong then you have just misled whoever comes across your video and whoever you have spoken these words to. Prov13:3 Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. May the Lord bless you with discernment and wisdom child of God ❤

1 John 1:9 says we need to confess our sins. Romans 12 says we need to not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. That is the "change of mind" that is required. That is repentance....to turn around.

Of course repentance is required otherwise the continuation of sin will lead to the Lord saying depart from me you who practice lawlessness. Why do you think in the letters to the churches they are warned to repent?

Let me add this... i thought for 37 years i was saved, lat year I had an experience and I KNEW I WAS SAVED, everything changed. Jesus will spit you out if youre a luke warm christian. Get right with God yall. Check your salvation with your heart, dont get complacent thinking youre good then wonder why your in the pit.

Arminians tend to start the story in the middle… The whole Old Testament is an example of the damage that sin has done and continues to do… to “Fear God“ is to fear God‘s judgments against sin. People need to be told what they are saved from first before there can be any gospel (good news) and it is primarily that we be saved from our sins, not hell. Matthew 1:21 NASB95 She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." Psalm 119:120 NASB95 My flesh trembles for fear of You, And I am afraid of Your judgments.

Be carefull to call children of God false or even false teachers. And yes, if one does not repents of ones rin you are still lost...

Read 1 Corinthians 6 and Galatians 5, those 2 chapters will slap you with the truth that you MUST repent of your sins to be saved, read Revelation 21:8 as well. Because as those chapters say and that verse, that those that commit such things will NOT inherit God's kingdom but their part will be in the lake of fire. We have to be a new creation in CHRIST, not a slave to sin but a slave to God.

I’m assuming you’re a Calvinist? I could be wrong, be the tend to believe “repenting” is works…they also believe “believing” is works. Repenting means to “change your mind”, you are correct about that. So why would changing your mind about sin be wrong? John the Baptist taught repentance, Jesus taught repentance, Peter taught repentance and Paul taught repentance. If you don’t turn from sin there is no real conversion. You don’t really “believe” in Jesus if you still live like hell and haven’t died to self. Satan and demons believe in Jesus…are they saved? Lastly, the word “believe” in the Bible had a stronger meaning than we have today. It implied actions supporting your belief (faith without works is dead) are necessary. Repenting, turning away from, changing your mind about sin would prove belief. I’m really happy to see a young man excited about God’s word, but be careful what you teach because you could lead people astray. In this case someone could take away the idea that they can be save without becoming a new creature and continue a life of sin.

You believe in the promises so you obey. That’s what faith is. Abraham had to be circumcised for his promise to come. We are told this in James. He didn’t just believe, he had to obey and it was counted as faith. Keep reading and asking the Spirit to guide you.

Why does Jesus constsntpy tell people to go and sin no more?

Once saved always saved is a lie from the pit of hell.

True repentance is the proof of salvation

Sean Barnett 11 cherry picked verses doth not make your statement true., What you appear to be saying is that I can forgo the repentance part, live as a heathen, believe in Christ ,have no change of heart and go to heaven?

The question everyone must ask is, what is the definition of repent and works in the context of the scripture you are reading. Understanding that we are in the flesh, God and Jesus know we act out our thoughts and decisions. Understand that God alone can save for each of us was DEAD in our iniquities. Now go and sin no more. But wait, Peter says if you say you are without sin you lie and the truth is not in you. So which one is it. Take the time to understand the context of what you are reading.

So you're saying that in 5 minutes you just obliterated the argument (as you said) of an entire doctrine that has been approved for thousands of years, by decontestualizing some verses and ignoring a lot more that go against you, right?

If you are unrepentant, then you are NOT sorry for the sin you committed that put Christ on that cross. He did it for each one of us. His sacrifice to atone for our sins came at great personal cost to Him. He did not die so that we could continue in sin. If sin mean't so little to Him, He could have just forgiven us without any need of personal sacrifice on His part.

"7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. " You are the deceiver, oh you don't have to practice righteousness, you can live like the devil and you're fine. The verse above warns about people like you. REPENT

Matthew 7:21-23 📖

Sean My Advise to you is " REPENT THIS VIDEO"!!!" " If Any man comes to you with any other Gospel He is accursed". +++ Any Man who adds "ONE" WORD TO THIS ; LET THE PLAGUES & PUNISHMENTS BE ADDED TO HIM". Revelation 22: YOU SIR HAVE ADDED MORE THEN ONE, AND TAKEN AWAY MORE THEN 2. REPENT WHILE YOU ARE ABLE!!!🤫😡

I used to believe what you believe because it was a scary idea that I have to repent of all my sins like I thought that it wasn’t possible. But then by the grace of God I found the church that Jesus established. The Catholic Church and all my questions I had as a Protestant were answered. There’s a distinction between moral and venial sin. And that really helped me understand salvation and how we are saved. Cause if you try and interpret it yourself it’s gonna be a mess and people are gonna have all different interpretations because of all the verses and it can be confusing no doubt. So I highly recommend that you look into church history to find out what the earliest Christians believed and I think you will be shocked at what you find.

Most Armenians emphasize being saved from hell, not being saved from their sins. This is a precarious and half baked position they have.

What is repentance? It’s a change of mind, that leads to a change of heart, that leads to a change action. in salvation, this change involves both a turning from sin, and turning to God.

You forgot these verses........ 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder. 20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. 25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. James 2:14-26 As well as....... 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matthew 3: 3-10 And....... 1Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. 5Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience. 7When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways. 8But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Colossians 3: 1-7

Is it just me to noticed a devil face painting in his room?

I subscribed just so you won't be lost!

Listen as I quote the Lord “‘Repent or perish’”

Ur def of believing would let the devil stay in heaven since he believes.... granted the first step towards salvation IS believing, obedience is the 2nd which INCLUDES repentance......

Young man you need to get in to your bible. Your way off base.

Oh honey. I'm going to be praying for you.

Luke thirteen says unless you repent you will likewise perish. I think I'll listen to Jesus instead.

So conmen, rapists, murderers, etc don't have to worry, so long as they believe that Jesus died on the Cross for their Sins. Amen.

Repent translates as change your mind/heart. If you believe in Jesus, your mind and heart change. If your mind doesn't change, and you really don't believe Jesus.

We have to be careful about just saying you have to believe, there are many people who believe in God but do not have a relationship with the father that do not know God. The devil himself and his demons believe in God, their belief isn't getting them in heaven.

Keep studying the Word of God, praying that He gives you understanding concerning reprentance. Here are some Scriptures I would like to provide you in the meantime. The Apostle Paul asked his readers a question as a check point before giving a warning concerning repentance. He asked, do you not know that "the goodness of God leads you to repentance? But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God." (Romans 2:4, 5). According to the book of Revelation, God will deal with those who are unrepentant during the time of the Tribulation Period (Revelation 9:20, 21; 16:9-11). Biblically speaking, you cannot be a Christian apart from repentance. God has called all men to repent (Acts 17:30). The Apostle Peter also preached repentance proclaiming, "Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;" (Acts 3:19) There is much more to say on repentance; however, you must seek God for understanding.

If Jesus tells people to repent OVER AND OVER AGAIN what does BELIEVING IN HIM MEAN? You are correct that we do not earn our salvation. Repenting means changing your mind it doesn't always apply to sin. I could repent of KFC in self disgust. Jesus said twice "sin no more" to the adulterous woman at the well and the man who he healed at the pool of Bethesda. We were told what the woman did. Why might Jesus want her to repent and to stop sinning? Well, lets look at what adultery accomplishes. Did you know that NINE PERCENT of ALL SUICIDES are from people who had discovered their partners infidelity in less than 24 HOURS? Pretty much all sin is ANTI HUMAN and Jesus/ being that He is God and created us, loves us and desires our preservation. What kind of absolute ding-dong would teach against it? You say, "oh no, don't repent of your sins, just believe in Jesus" Okay what does Jesus say? He says you have no idea what you are talking about maybe you should have a single gray hair before you teach? How does one worship God in spirit and in truth? By loving everything Christ loves and hating everything Christ hates, by literally having the Spirit of God inside you so that you know God and God knows YOU. If you aren't glad to reject sin (it doesn't mean you are sinless), you are just as big a fool as the people who think they don't sin. So in conclusion, you are right to say repenting of sin does not save you, but you are 100% wrong to say that we don't have to repent of sin. If you don't repent of sin, you don't know God, you're a poser. You earned my sub, I will be back for more.

Jonah 3:9-10 says; Who can tell if God will turn and RELENT, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish? Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God RELENTED from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it. Jesus did NOT die so that we could continue in sin. If sin did not matter to a Holy and Righteous God, sacrifice would never have been necessary.

SATAN BELIEVES - Jesus also said if you don't forgive, you won't be forgiven, Jesus also said that not all those that say, LORD, LORD will enter into heaven. This is why our world is like it is, people don't believe the word of God. Scripture tells us that IF we BELIEVE, we will LIVE in HIS TRUTH, which is "the wage of sin is death". This is exactly why non-believers DON'T BELIEVE. Believers claim we can fornicate all we want because we "BELIEVE?"?, but they CAN'T because they DON'T? The BIBLE must be referenced entirely, as best as we can. And Jesus warns us that WE CANNOT serve 2 masters. We are to imitate Him & He did NOT sin. NO WONDER people don't trust us!!

Believe: Be alive in!

Repentance is NOT a work. When we repent we aknowledge we are sinners, humble ourselves and ask God for forgiveness.

If only I knew…

lol - with demonic images as art on his wall - he is funny You got some work to do

You’re reading Scripture out of contexts to reach your conclusion, completely ignoring where Yashua specifically said REPENT. The Bible says, you believe in God, so do the demons, and they tremble. God has a whole laundry list of sins that will definitely prevent you from entering into heaven. In fact, in the exact Book you referred to Yashua told the man to sin no more. John 5:14 The Bible also says that a person who continues in sin doesn’t know the Father and the Father is not in Him. And what about 2 Peter 2:20-22?? And what about Hebrews 6:4-8?? I am so sorry, bur you are WRONG. I really hope you reconsider your position. 😞

I'm afraid this young man is badly confused

And why I don't take advice from a teenager
