Repentance is a change of mind!

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:13 (AKJB)

"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house"

Acts 16:31 (AKJB)

Repent of unbelief and be saved!

God will forgive anyone!

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"

1 John 1:9 (AKJB)

Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
repentance toward God,
and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 20:21 (KJV)

Do not block God!

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy
Proverbs 28:13 (AKJV)

Evangelist Don Boyd exposes the false doctrine of "repent of your sins" as a prerequisite for salvation. Many deceived people today preach that you have to "repent of your sins," or "turn from sins" in order to receive God's free gift of eternal life, but the Bible teaches that salvation is simply by BELIEVING on the name of the only begotten Son of God (John 6:47).

"And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way;
and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them;
and he did it not."

Jonah 3:10 (AKJB)

God doesn't want anyone to perish!

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)

"Repentance is that thing when you come before God and see yourself as you are,

and see Him as he is, and say with Isaiah 'Woe is me, for I am unclean!'” 

Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001)

The Greek word for “repent” in Mark 1:15 in the King James Bible is metanoeo, which means, “to think differently.” This is the verb form of the word. The noun form is metanoia (“a change of mind”). Repentance is a simple change of mind. It DOESN'T mean to “change your hearts and lives,”- David Stewart

AND SUCH: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past,

THAT THEY WHICH  DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV)

"Repentance is simply the sick man acknowledging his illness; the sinner recognizing his need. It is a man realizing his utter bankruptcy before God, judging himself as a hell-deserving, lost, corrupt sinner before God. A person cannot be saved apart from this kind of acknowledgment of his sinful, lost condition before God."

Dr. Harry Ironside

  • Repentance “From Sins” For Salvation is Not Biblical

 

There are only a few references in the Bible where the word “repentance” is used with sin. The Bible usually speaks of “the remission of sins,” but never commands anyone to repent from sins to be saved. Search the Bible and you will find that “repentance” is almost always mentioned with salvation, but it never tells us that forsaking sinful bad habits is the way to be saved. Ceasing from sin is self-righteousness. The truth is that God's indwelling Holy Spirit begins to change us when we get saved. This means a lifetime of being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Getting saved happens in a moment of time by trusting Jesus Christ, but becoming Christlike takes a lifetime. -David J. Stewart

Repentance is necessary for salvation

The Greek word for repent is metanoeo, which, translated into English is: to change ones mind. It does not mean to turn from sin. That would add works to salvation


Many teach repentance for salvation incorrectly, by including some form of human effort or righteousness, such as willingness to turn from sin, or turning from sin. This is heresy and has confused many people. It adds works to salvation and causes many to not understand Gods great gift. It is probation, not salvation. It is completely unscriptural. It is Galatianism and a counterfeit of the gospel

Dr. Mark G. Cambron,  (1911-2000), The Cambron Institute

God will save anyone!

"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.  
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:
for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 10:9-13 (AKJB) 

We are saved by God's grace, alone!

"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."

Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)
