Turn or Burn? - Do I Need to Repent of My Sins to Be Saved? - Bob Wilkin 

You must listen to Renee Roland one of the worst false teachers. The blood of Jesus washes aways sin but to receive it one first must first humble themself by acknowledging they are a sinner and repent of their sinfulled life to Jesus. True repentance leads a person to change their mind by renouncing sin, to God and prove it with a 180-degree change of their lifes direction. Your life was going in one direction (sin) and you make a decision of the heart and mind (will) to take your life in the opposite direction with His help. Repentance is not an emotion. Repentance is not asking the Lord for forgiveness with the intent to go back to the sin(s) again. Repentance is an honest, regretful acknowledgement of sin with a heartfelt desire to change. Repentance - turning from our sin to God and that we realize we have disobeyed God. We have violated His law, offended his moral purity, tried to cast off his yoke of authority. It requires that we admit we have turned from God to sin. Repentance is something that should be ongoing in our lives.

Um no. Regret is not repentance. And repentance is granted to you. This is ridiculous.

@@2Chronicles714_ He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, “Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life.” with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

@@Pookabee Yes the point is, to come to repentance one one first confess and change their mind about their sinfulled life. 2 Peter 3:9 and 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 make it clear without repentance of sin we will perish which is spiritual death.

@@2Chronicles714_ right on

🙏

i agree.. "faith alone" is a very comforting message..

Truth, don't let the enemy mess with your mind about not doing good works, if your not able to do good works your still God's child, im a carer for my 84 year old mother who is housebound, its a 24/7 work so dont let anyone deceive you in any way. God bless you and Glory to God.

nice..

God is not a man that He can sin. God can change His mind 1 Samuel 15:29

@rase.. correct

Just believing the gospel message saves no one. Hearing and believing the gospel message doesn't make you serve the Lord. You still have a decision to make ,either remain in your sinful state or serve the Lord. We all know that a believer must recieve the Holy Spirit in order to be saved. In Acts ch.19 upon encountering the disciples outside Ephesis Paul asked them," Have you recieved the Holy Spirit since you believed"? If we recieve the Spirit when we believe then Paul didn't know what he was talking about.

@@robertnieten7259 I guess Paul lied to the jailer 🙄

@@robertnieten7259 God made it ridiculously simple to be saved. Throughout the whole Bible, faith has always been credited as righteousness. Paul, who saw the glorified Christ, greeted the Corinthians (the most carnal church at the time) as brothers in Christ. believing the gospel, which is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for your justification is all it takes for salvation.

@@robertnieten7259 and if you don’t believe that, then you’re calling god a liar and you’re relying on yourself to be saved. I’ll pray for you.

@@briandavenport8971 We know that the jailer heard the gospel, turned to the Lord and was water baptized. The reason that it isn't stated that he recieved the Holy Spirit with the first evidence of speaking in tongues is easily explained. The Word frequently will repeat something said and/ or an event three times for two important reasons: 1) To direct our attention to an important spiritual truth. 2) To set a precedent to where the same circumstance need not be repeated exactly as it occurs each time it appears in scripture. This is known in biblical study as The Law Of Repetition and is a proven method used in interpreting scripture. Three times we have examples in scripture of believers recieving the Holy Spirit and what happened the moment that they recieved,( Acts ch.2,10,and ch.19). In each instance when the believers recieved the Holy Spirit the first thing that happened was that they spoke in tongues. Another example of the Law of Repetition at work is in Acts ch.2. After the believers recieved the Holy Spirit and began speaking in tongues, three times the men in the crowd asked how they were hearing what the believers were saying in their native languages. One time would have been sufficient if thats all it meant, but the reason that the men asked three times is to reveal to us that the miracle for those in the crowd wasn't that the believers were speaking in their native languages but they were hearing what the believers were saying in one spiritual language in their native languages. The only reason that the word" tongues" is pluralized is because more than one believer was speaking it. Paul called it the unknown tongue that no man knoweth.( 1Cor.14:2). If no man knows it then its not a language natuve to this world. Lastly,Acts ch.2 is an example of the first evidence that a believer has recieved the Holy Spirit and a sign to unbelievers, the men in the crowd.

true..

God repented only in the Old Testament which was written in Hebrew. In Hebrew Repent means turn from. So in Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; (They REPENTED) and God repented(TURNED FROM) of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. They repented of sin to avoid judgment which pleased God ! It's not works 1 Samuel 15:29-31 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God. 31So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD. (The Lord of Israel is not a man, he does not lie or repent )

@@2Chronicles714_ brother Jonah 3:10 shows turning from evil is a work. Jonah 3:10 And God saw THEIR WORKS, that THEY TURNED FROM THEIR EVIL WAY This proves that turning from sin or evil is a work . Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is NOT JUSTIFIED BY the WORKS of the law, BUT BY the FAITH of Jesus Christ My brother works cant saved you only Jesus Christ . I used too be a works based salvationist but it goes against scripture when scripture is rightly divided only Jesus can save us but once you believe and become saved you SHOULD live righteous but salvation only comes by believing im telling you in love brother. God Bless

@@ericsenecal9203 That's not what Jonah 3:10 says. It says they turned from [ which means Repented in Hebrew] their evil works [sins] which pleased God and caused God to not destroy them. Jonah 3:10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened. Jesus brings Jonah up again in Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. Repenting of sin pleases God. I have never advocated doing works. Regardless of what any man claims repenting of sin is the first requirement for salvation. We are saved by grace through repentance which is the consequence of faith.

@@ericsenecal9203 Think about it, If repenting of sins is works why would it be hidden in one verse in Jonah in old testament. You simply misunderstand it. Hope what I just sent you clarifies it.

@@2Chronicles714_ what brother you just completely made that say something else. Jonah 3:10 And God saw THEIR WORKS, that they TURNED FROM their EVIL way There works were turning from evil Jonah 3:10 and God REPENTED of the EVIL, that he had said that HE WOULD DO UNTO THEM God repented of the evil he was gonna to to them or changed his mind. The works are the men turning from evil this is clear in the scripture .

What About Repentance and Salvation in Luke 13:3 and Luke 24:47? - Bob Wilkin & Ken Yates ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PoTxkt020QI.html Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are for a third day, looking at some references to repentance and salvation. In Luke 13:3, is Jesus saying that repentance is needed in order to not individually perish? What does He mean by “perish?” How does forgiveness work into the discussion?

This passage shows that God turned to another decision. Therefore, the word repent means to turn, and it means to change one’s mind. If human beings could repent of all of their sins and come to Jesus, why would they need a savior in the first place? Human beings cannot repent from sins. All they can do is believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior and it is the righteousness of Godthrough grace by faith in Christ that frees us away from sin

@alvinfen4511 The only thing you have correct is that John's Gospel was written long after Jesus's death on the cross. Obviously it was not written for evangelism as you continue to claim. It was written to the already repented church in Ephesus to encourage believers to continue believing that Jesus is the Son of God hence why John uses the word believe so often. You are putting the cart before the horse. None of the verses you continue to quote in John mention forgiveness of sins and why would they when they aren't for evangelism. Without repentance there is no forgiveness of sins. Luke 24:45-47 Acts 2:38-41 Acts 3:19 Acts 20:21 Acts 22:16 Acts 26:18-20 Peter and Paul make it clear their teachings in Acts is for Jews and Gentiles. Acts 11:18 When the others heard this, they stopped objecting and began praising God. They said, “We can see that God has also given the Gentiles the privilege of repenting of their sins and receiving eternal life.” 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 9Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way. 10 For 👉the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow.👈 But worldly sorrow, which 👉lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.👈

@NikoR96 Yes, the issue of as you put it, front loading works as a requirement for salvation is a major roadblock to salvation. The lost sinner is not required by God to "clean up their lives" before God will save them. That is clearly doing good works or trying to keep the law in order to get saved. I was living in numerous wicked sins back in 1977 when I heard the clear gospel from Isaiah 53. All I knew was I was a sinner and that Christ had taken the punishment for my sins on the cross. I was born again about 1 week later. It was God who changed my life, radically I might add, not me. It was because God put His own divine nature in me and His Spirit immediately came to dwell in me that I had a change of life. The Bible is clear that "the flesh profiteth NOTHING. The flesh cannot produce ANY righteousness in us either before or after salvation. Many good people are confused about this because many have forced a wrong definition of repentance, especially in the New Testament. Many read it and think immediately it means "turn from your sins", but that is not what it means. It simply means you hear or read something, you think about it, and as a result, you change your mind because of what you heard or read.

Good afternoon 🎉 Remission of sins is received through repentance, a change of mind is not repenting of sins. Also refer to John 3:18. Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness that through his name whosoever BELIEVETH in him shall RECEIVE REMISSION OF SINS. Notice how God didn't say "whosoever repent of sins shall receive remission from sins." If you still believe that repenting of your sins will save you, you have diminished God's completed work on the cross of calvary. You have not fully 100% trusted that He saved you from your sins so you go out of your OWN WAYS to REPENT OF YOUR SINS thinking that this will save you! It is impossible to not sin after you're saved. Do you know each and every little sin you committed each day, each hour, and each minute? You are not God. You are not omniscient.

@@small_fries7573 Sorry but unbelief in Christ in sin so you have to repent for that. Like remarriage after divorce is adultery. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 7:39 only the death of a spouse can someone get remarry. Jesus said if that first spouse in living and get married to another is adultery. Adultery can't inherit the Kingdom Of God. You must repent of this sin to go to heaven according to the New Testament. Repentance of sins is a must!!!

Does that say "repentance from sin" or just "repentance"?

@Ssethtzeentach_enjoyer Repent means change your mind. What is the one thing that God wants you to change your mind about? The only thing that will keep you eternally separated from God. That is sin. All sin including unbelief,false gods,witchcraft self righteousness etc

If I Believe in Jesus for Eternal Life, Can I Live However I Want? - Zane Hodges ru-vid.comlB37Uv1GJSs How Does 1 John 3:6 9 Fit Into Free Grace Theology and Into Eternal Security? - Bob Wilkin & Steve Elkins ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xs84UlbQkVE.html Bob Wilkin and Steve Elkins are answering a question from a listener about 1 John 3:6-9.

Hodges ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gz-3MCIBxUc.html What does it mean that Jesus is the propitiation for the whole world? What did Jesus' death on the cross accomplish for everyone, both believers and unbelievers? Does anyone get sent to hell as punishment for their sins? Why do unbelievers go to the lake of fire?

@@GESvids so if you believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life can you live however you want, well that's a very easy question to answer can your eyes and most people that don't have all the truth yes of course because no matter what you do it doesn't matter because you guys believe that you are saved no matter how bad you sin no matter how much you do the work of the devil you're still saved, sounds pretty silly doesn't it because it is!! And there's evidence of this just look around you in the world look at the way that Christians behave look at all of the different Christians that accept sin just like you choose to do what's being preached all over the world 99% of the time you can't tell an unbeliever from a believer that's a problem and it's only getting worse!!!!

@@GESvids it fits in there absolutely perfect but again the problem is do you know what the word Grace means? People throw that word around and they don't even know what it means do most people it means continue in your son if you need to and you can try your hardest not to do it but if you still fall short Grace how's your back but what does grace mean does it have your back absolutely not!! Because people don't know what the word means most pastors don't even know what the word means is used as a context for believers and unbelievers to continue in their sin this is why you cannot tell them apart

@@GESvids propitiation means Jesus was the sacrifice for the world!!! But we definitely know that he is the only way back to the father 100 no doubt about it what does that mean we still live in sin does that mean Jesus died so we can continue in our sin? There's nothing in the Bible that says Jesus died so we can continue in our sins!! But there is quite a few places where Jesus tells us not to sin he tells us to turn from our sin and the first John 3:6 to 9 tells you if you abide in him you cannot sing because in him there is no sin!!! So this is not very difficult to understand this but for someone who doesn't want to hear this they will not want to understand this because this means people have to stop being bondage to sin and we know in this world even with so-called Christians they don't want to stop their sin!!! Jesus came on Earth to die for our sins to take away our sins this is not complicated not sure why people struggle with this!!! And again if you read 1st John 3 6 to 9 he came so we do not send anymore but he's very clear that he does give us the choice we can still choose to send if we want!! Or we could take up our cross and walk with them daily and walking righteousness with him!! So it's up to us which one are we going to choose I would say most Christians so-called Christians this is what we call lukewarm Christians Jesus says he spits them out of his mouth what's a lukewarm Christian? One that expects to be saved while they're still living in bondage to sin doing the work of their father the devil!!! Sounds pretty foolish doesn't it because it is

@@GESvids the ones that go to hell are the ones that don't accept Lord Jesus as their savior the ones that don't have faith and believe but he came and died on the cross and rose again three days after these people who believe this and accept Jesus in the heart and walk with Jesus everyday and righteousness and love and in fear and obedience will be saved that's a tough one for Christians who want to continue in the Sin they're not going to want to hear this one!!!

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 God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Acts 2 when they asked Peter " what must we do", Peter said " Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins..." and also, now you have the demons saved for the believe and tremble, James 2:19

Does salvation depend on you, or is it a gift of God? And who exactly have you ever seen encouraging habitual sin after getting saved?

@@eddw3Salvation is granted to the contrite heart that repents. It is a gift but that doesn’t mean it is granted to everyone, the legal transaction must first take place in order for the fine to be paid.

Where in scripture does it say we are saved by faith alone?

@NikoR96 If the pastor said we have have to change our lifestyle before we come to Christ he is wrong, if he said there must be a change after then he is correct. The blood of Jesus washes aways sin but to receive it one first must first humble themself by acknowledging they are a sinner and repent of their sinfulled life to Jesus.

It requires that we admit we have turned from God to sin. Repentance is something that should be ongoing in our lives. For Jesus ti grant forgiveness of sins without a change of conduct is to make the grace of God an accomplice to evil.

@@2Chronicles714_ Romans 4:2-8, Ephesians 2:8-9, to name two. The video lists several in John.

@NikoR96 Without repentance there can be no faith. To believe is faith produced by repentance. Jesus Peter and Paul all said REPENT first then BELIEVE. In James 2 he is saying what Paul says show evidence of your faith by your works. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- Faith is a gift from God granted to those who have repented first. 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Our works we've done regardless of how noble or much (Outside of Christ) are as filthy rags in God's eyes. Paul makes clear that we are to do works in Christ Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Jesus says we are to do works (bear fruit) in His name. John 15:1-6 Matthew 10:8 Matthew 28:19 John 14:12 And More. James and Paul are on the exact same page. Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God,(Believe) and do works meet for repentance. Show your faith through your works (actions) James 2:14 What doth it profit,my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? James 2:17-19 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2:21-24 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 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. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Without works Abraham's faith would have been meaningless,that is why Jesus Peter and Paul say to repent first which is evidence that God has granted Faith to truly believe. The False teachers that discard James 2 do it because they teach that if you strive to live a life in obedience to Jesus that's adding works which that teaching contradicts much of the new testament which teaches we must have a change of conduct and lifestyle if we are true Christians.

@NikoR96 Faith without works is dead. 70% of Americans say they believe but now many have admitted they are sinners and change their mind about their sinfulled life's? 1 Corinthians 15:2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. What was the command of Jesus that Paul preached? Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. Acts 20:21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith (believe) in our Lord Jesus. Acts 22:16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name. Baptism follows repentance. Acts 26:20 First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds. Paul's dire warning!!! Romans 2:4-8 Or DO YOU SHOW CONTEMPT for the riches of his KINDNESS, FORBEARANCE and PATIENCE, not realizing that God’s KINDNESS is INTENDED to LEAD YOU TO REPENTANCE? 5But because of your STUBBORNNESS and your UNREPENTANT HEART YOU ARE STORING UP WRATH AGAINST YOURSELF for the day of God’s WRATH, when his RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT will be revealed. 6 God “WILL REPAY EACH PERSON ACCORDING to WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.” 7To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, HE WILL GIVE ETERNAL LIFE 8But FOR THOSE WHO ARE SELF-SEEKING and WHO REJECT THE TRUTH and follow evil, there will be WRATH AND ANGER.

Titus 3 Verses 5 to 7 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done (repent of our sins), but ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED US, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost, 6 Which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior: 7 That being JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE, we should be made HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE.

This is a mish-mash of very out-of-context, half-quoted verses used to proof-text a narrative. None of those verses in context mean what you want them to.

For one, it's the Parable of the Sower, not the Parable of the Soils. It's not about salvation but the responsibility of those He was preparing to be Apostles and plant the Gospel.

You wrote: _"True continuous believing will lead you through the journey of repentance."_ ALL believing is continuous. Even believing that continues for no more than five seconds is continuous. Everything is continuous for as long as it continues. Your phrase, _"continuous believing,"_ is redundant. By sticking your adjective, _"true,"_ onto your noun, _"believing,"_ what are you trying to signify, if not merely _belief of truth?_ Your extra-Biblical, cognitively meaningless phrase, _"the journey of repentance,"_ is a joke, and is nothing that any rationally-thinking, Bible-believing person is ever going to take seriously. And frankly, as long as you write posts like what you just wrote, you deserve to not be taken seriously, seeing as how, by your grace-despising, Christ-despising, self-righteously heretical post, you amply demonstrate that not only have you not listened to a word Bob has said in any of his many other videos and writings, but you have not even put so much as five seconds' worth of careful thinking toward anything he has said in this very video to which you have just now shamefully reacted.

@@ScrogginHausen It is sad that obviously you have not experienced the beautiful journey of repentance so you are not understanding The Word of God by heart. If you repent and walk in The Light, The Lord Jesus will give you insight and understanding as you grow in True Faith and you will find out That The Word of God does not contradict Scripture verses. The problem is your calloused heart, so you don't understand The Word of The Lord Jesus. You will be ever hearing but not understanding and you will be ever seeing but not perceiving. Continue without repentance and definitely you will perish. You have been warned.

@@ScrogginHausen What I had written was had transformed me, I was also deceived for a while. I was transformed by The Lord Jesus but I went back to sin and I became the worst of sinners. I had listened to many false preachers but their preaching could not change lives to become righteous. I ived a life fearing death because sin brings condemnation, iniquity separated me from God. If I had not repented six years ago I could have probably perished. The Lord Jesus leads me through the journey of repentance. Thanks to The Bible app and Christian Worship songs, The Lord Jesus led me to give up TV, Netflix , porn and other forms of entertainment and replaced them with memorizing The Word of God until I obey The Word and worship The Lord Jesus through youtube premium membership Christian Worship Songs with lyrics (without the face of a person singing). It is all through The Mercy and Grace of The Lord Jesus. I am only six years old walking in The Light with My Lord and Savior and Teacher - the Lord Jesus. It is amazing how The Lord Jesus calls sinners to repentance and lled them to live in The Righteousness of The Lord Jesus - through His Words, Teachings and Commands. I no longer fear death but wish I could have repented earlier. I wasted much of my life.

God repented only in the Old Testament which was written in Hebrew. In Hebrew Repent means turn from. So in Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; (They REPENTED) and God repented(TURNED FROM) of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. They turned from their evil works Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. Again they repented of sin to avoid judgment. It's not works 1 Samuel kj 15:29-31 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God. 31So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD. (The Lord of Israel is not a man, he does not lie or repent )

No no no. God didn't repent. He relented from his judgement because they repented. When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it. They key point being they turned from there sin. Furthermore Hebrews says this and completely turns your argument over. For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

@Spartan 300 Hebrews 10:26

Titus 3 Verses 5 to 7 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done (repent of our sins), but ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED US, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost, 6 Which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior: 7 That being JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE, we should be made HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. We are justified by grace through faith not by our works of righteousness (repentance of our sins). Please make a note of this ♥️.

Repentance is just changing from unbelief to belief. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe he said that people don't need to understand why we need faith. He's just saying that "repenting of your sins" isn't a part of faith, and by extension, isn't a part of salvation.

No one is in heaven now unless they had repented of their sins before they died and believed that Jesus died on the cross was buried and rose again for their sins.

It's really simple; when you get saved, only your Spirit is [re]born of God. Your flesh still isn't saved, so you have the old man (flesh) and the new man (Spirit). When you sin, it's called "living in the flesh", so every time you sin, you're living in the part of yourself that is not born of God. Regarding "if we say we know Him but keep on sinning...", remember that "knowing God" isn't the same thing as salvation. God has to know us in order for us to get saved, but we don't have to know Him. Obviously, we need to know about His Son, the death, burial, and resurrection, we need to know a little about the trinity, and all the other fundamentals of salvation, but we don't need to know all the commandments or anything like that to go to Heaven. Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 7:23: "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." - He said "I never KNEW YOU", not "YOU never KNEW ME". And if you read the verses preceding that one, those people were trusting in their own works to get them to Heaven, similar to the ROYS (repent of your sins) crowd.

​@alvinfen4511 "know has to be taken in it’s context. To know God is to be His child, to have everlasting life." - Book, chapter, and verse?

​@alvinfen4511 "John 17:3 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." - You're quoting from a modern Satanic Bible version; you need to get yourself a King James, where it says "they MIGHT know thee"; in other words, not all saved people "know" God. "To know God is everlasting life, you can’t get One without the Other." - Wrong; everlasting life is to believe on Christ. That being said, if you got more scripture, by all means provide it. I've always been under the impression that "knowing God" is after salvation and not synonymous with it at all.

@alvinfen4511 "The majority of existing manuscripts read may know you, not might." - The majority of manuscripts are wrong. "You’re left with a very sad fact, you think God’s child doesn’t even know Him." - That's not what I said; I said that "knowing God" has nothing to do with salvation. There are saved people who know God because they're reading their Bible, they're praying, and they're living a righteous life, but again, I believe that knowing God has to do with doing good works and not with salvation.

@alvinfen4511 "The joy of my salvation is knowing my name is written in heaven~!" - True. "If your works have anything to do with it your joy is false." - Also true; when did I say that we're saved by works?

Are you calling Jesus a liar? For God so loved the world he gave his one and only son so that everyone who believes in him shall not perish but have Everlasting life

@zacharyvernon7989 You don't believe if you don't obey. Repentance precedes Faith. John 3:16 is not a verse for being saved it is one of many that John uses to encourage the church to continue believing. that Jesus is the Son of God. The message of salvation: Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God died on the cross was buried and rose again for our sins? (Acts 2:31-32) If yes then everything Jesus preached on repenting of sin applies to Gentiles as well Luke 24:45-47 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, And REPENTANCE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS will be preached in His name to 👉ALL NATIONS 👈Starting in Jerusalem. Jesus said: Matthew 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. Jesus again reaffirms Peter to start the church in John 21:17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things: you know that I love you." “Feed my sheep. When did Peter start the church? Acts 2 is the day of pentecost which is the start of the church. This was the first time in church where some asked how to be saved. 37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles,( Including John)“BROTHERS, WHAT SHALL WE DO? (TO be saved) 38Peter replied, “REPENT and be BAPTIZED, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS. And YOU WILL RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off. (meaning gentiles) for all whom the Lord our God will call.” Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Note Peter said the same thing as Jesus We repent of sin for the forgiveness of sins for salvation. Peter again includes Gentiles. Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, So then, even to Gentiles God has granted REPENTANCE THAT LEADS TO LIFE". Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance but now COMMANDETH ALL PEOPLE EVERY WHERE TO REPENT. Acts 20:21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they MUST TURN TO GOD IN REPENTANCE AND HAVE FAITH in our Lord Jesus. Acts 22:16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on the name of the Lord. Jesus and Paul Acts 26:18-20 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, SO THAT THEY MAY RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS and a place among those who are SANCTIFIED BY FAITH IN ME.’ 19“So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven.20 First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should REPENT AND TURN TO GOD and demonstrate their REPENTANCE by their deeds. 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 Yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because YOUR SORROW LED YOU TO REPENTANCE. For YOU BECAME SORROWFUL as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. 10GODLY SORROW BRINGS REPENTANCE THAT LEADS TO SALVATION and leaves no regret, but worldly SORROW BRINGS DEATH.

@alvinfen4511 Repentance is a command. It's no more a works than believing that Jesus is the Son of God is. They are required in that order. Throughout scripture Repentance always precedes Faith. In Jonah 6:10 They repented of their evil works [which is sin] so God relented and did not destroy them. If Sodom and Gomorrah would have repented of their evil works [sin] then God would not have destroyed them. The same thing goes for me and you and all people if we don't repent of our evil works [sin] then God will destroy us in the lake of fire. Mark 6:11-12 11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Note John and the other disciples preached repentance just like Jesus. 12And they went out, and preached that men should repent. Stop with this narrative that John never preached repentance.

@alvinfen4511 When Paul's is talking about not mixing works/the law with grace he's referring to the old Mosaic laws which of course I never disputed. We are all under the Lordship of Jesus or the lordship of satan. They both have opposing kingdoms. There is no in beteeen. Romans 6:16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, [satan's lordship] or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? [Jesus's Lordship] You like many confuse the old law of Moses with the new testament teaching of Jesus's law. Much of the teaching of Jesus Peter John James and Paul is about how a believer in Jesus is to live. It's not the same thing as adding works to grace. If you have come to Christ through repentance then Paul says 2 Corinthians 5:15,17 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:The old has gone, the new is here!

John 3:16 alone refutes your view . If your view were Exegetically derived - thus objectively true - then metanoi must necessarily be in every conceivable Justification before God/Evangelistic/Everlasting Life passage . Yet , this is precisely what we do not find .

@@Ydarg09 Some say John's gospel was written for evangelism because it says in John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. The misunderstanding is because in John's gospel the word believe is always in the present continuous tense, which doesn't mean just believe once, it means go on believing. Everywhere in John's gospel the emphasis is going on believing. For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever goes on believing- present continuous tense- Whoever is believing. It means to go on doing something, all the way through John's gospel it means go on believing that Jesus is the son of God, going on believing, you may go on having life. That whosoever goes on believing will never perish but go on having eternal life. Ask any expert in Greek and they will say that's what the original text says. In other words John's gospel was not written to convert people but to tell believers to continue believing. That's why John doesn't deal with repentance or water baptism because he assumes the readers are already repented and been baptized. The fact that John doesn't mention repentance doesn't mean its not necessary. John knew that believing and repentance go hand in hand. Nobody would repent if they didn't believe, and nobody was a believer unless they repented. He's saying go on believing because in Ephesus where he lived when he wrote it there was a heretic called Cerinthus that was teaching bad things about Jesus and that bad teaching was getting into the church. So John wrote his gospel for believers to make them go on believing in Jesus as the son of God. It's the going on believing that is so important. Believing that Jesus is the son of God, going on believing that you may go on having life.

Didn't watch the video I see.

@@ScrogginHausen John did not teach a gospel contrary to Matthew Mark and Luke. Jesus,John the Baptist Peter and Paul all made it clear that we must repent of sin. To believe is faith produced by repentance. John did believe in repentance.

​@@2Chronicles714_ Nevermind that older Bibles say that God repented in several places, including Jonah 3:10. Does God sin? Do some word studies and stop repeating what your idols behind pulpits say. "Repent" is metanoia in Greek and it literally means "other mind" as in 'change your mind/thinking'. "Sin" on the other hand (hamartia), is an archery term meaning "miss the mark". Ergo, you're supposed to change your mind and believe in the good news, instead of missing the mark by trusting in your works. This is something that naturally happens when one comes to Christ and places their trust in his FINISHED work on the cross. It doesn't mean what you think it means.

Hell.

The term hell is not in the Bible@@Ssethtzeentach_enjoyer

@@Busabuck100 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in HELL." (Matthew 10:28) "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into HELL, into the fire that never shall be quenched:" (Mark 9:43) "And death and HELL were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." (Revelation 20:14) "But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into HELL; yea, I say unto you, Fear him." (Luke 12:5)

Hell is a mistranslation from Gehenna, a garbage dump in Jerusalem.

Repent just means to change your mind; this is why he wants EVERYONE to do it. You’re still living in sin and you always will be. Of course you can live a good, righteous life, but that doesn’t mean you’ll ever become perfect in this life on your own, and any attempt to do so for salvation is in vain and we are only saved by God’s grace through faith in His Son. That’s it. If you wanna turn from your sin, that’s awesome, but it will not save you and it will only spoil whatever evangelistic message you have for others. If you tell someone to “repent of their sins” or “turn from sin,” you’re just implying that that person needs to change according to your standard of justification, not God’s. Jesus literally said that all sins are forgiven by the shedding of His blood on the cross, so why would you tell anyone anything other than to simply believe in Him for salvation?

Why do you guys spend so much time convincing people that Jesus doesn't save them?

@@jacksonrelaxin3425 What scripture did Jesus says all sins are forgiven by the shedding of blood ? How could He say that before He died? He does say repent or perish.

@alvinfen4511 Is repentance " works" or an act of obedience we must choose to do in order to be saved after we believe ?

Thank you!

I thought the entering the Kingdom was here in earth, when we become born again. Entering is at the 1000 year reign.

So with Sodom & Gomorrah, all who believed in Jesus coming still enter heaven, even though God destroyed them it because of their sins? I've studies a lot ont he bible with other believers, I'm trying to understand this way of teaching as all I ever hear is without repentance of sin we will not enter the Kingdom. I hear catholics with go to hell because they believe in Mary & purgatory, tgsi isn't true because they believe in Jesus? Even though they believe in works based salvation?

Ok so like those who believe you have to do something, like work based, to enter Heaven don't have the understanding that it's a free gift & may not make it? Like the pharasees or people who believe purgatory along with believing, added works? I'd think that's denying the free gift of salvation. I fully believe that Jesus came to save us, Him alone, as a free gift of salvation. I just get people saying all the time well you sinned & stumble with a certain sin so if you don't fully repent or forgive those who hurt you (this is what I'm struggling with) then Ull go to hell. Then I question myself again. Yes I am working on the forgiveness part of it with my end but, I was hurt very very deeply by people who are suppose to love me. God knows my story & I am trying to get past the pain. At the same time I had people say "well you better before you die or you won't be forgiven" I'm truly trying.

Or maybe it's the some believe Jesus was here. He was a real man. But don't truly believe what He did on the cross for us. They only merely believe in His existence but not what He actually did on the cross.

*Paul Preached Repentance and Faith (Acts 20:21)* faithalone.org/blog/paul-preached-repentance-and-faith-acts-2021/ December 16, 2019 by Bob Wilkin We are nearly done with the final proofing of the second edition of our one-volume NT commentary. (The first edition came out in 2010, and we sold the last copies in January of this year.) We hope to have it in print by December 19. I’ve been going through changes that Al Valdes made in his commentaries on Luke and Acts. When I got to Acts 20:21, he and I discussed it. Here is what we finally came up with as commentary on Acts 20:21: Paul also recounted the content of his ministry proclamation: “repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” (see also Luke 24:47). Paul here referred to his ministry in Asia from the first day (cf. 20:18). Repentance rendered unbelievers receptive to the gospel (cf. Acts 17:30-31). However, it never served as a co-condition for eternal salvation-which only requires belief in Jesus (cf. Acts 15:7-11; 16:31; see also John 3:16-18). We left that comment a bit vague on the question of whether Acts 20:21 concerns Paul’s evangelistic preaching or all his preaching. I’m in print as suggesting that Acts 20:21 concerns Paul’s entire preaching ministry, not simply his evangelistic preaching. (See faithalone.org/journal-articles/does-free-grace-theology-diminish-the-gospel-2/ under II. E. See also an article by Bill Fiess faithalone.org/grace-in-focus-articles/repentance-and-faith/). However, I am open to the possibility that Paul is discussing his evangelistic ministry. It is true that when an unbeliever repents, he is more open to the message of life than he was before he repented. That could be what Paul is talking about. We do not have enough details in Paul’s exhortation to the Ephesian elders (Acts 20:17-38) to be certain. However, if it is appropriate to consider the epistle to the Ephesians in this question, then the evidence tips toward Acts 20:21 referring to Paul’s entire preaching ministry. Paul never mentions repentance in Ephesians. But he does mention salvation by faith alone often (Eph 1:13, 15, 19; 2:5, 8-9; 3:12). The key is Al’s last line of explanation: “[repentance] never served as a co-condition for eternal salvation-which only requires belief in Jesus (cf. Acts 15:7-11; 16:31; see also John 3:16-18.”
