1 | How do you say "repent" gently? | Acts 3:26 | Aixen7z4 | 97087 | ||
Surely you are correct, J.R., that "Repentance is essential" (Luke 13:3), and that it is "not a work which we manufacture" (John 1:13). One must also agree with Debbie that it takes "the Holy Spirit working in someone" (John 16:8). And now this seems to be a good common meeting ground where a Calvinist and an Armenian can witness to someone together. They can both tell them that God is commanding them to repent (Acts 17:30) and that it is he who is giving them the desire (Phil 2:13) and the privilege (Acts 11:18) and the ability to repent (Lam 5:21). It does seem that we should be able to present this is a pleasant, attractive, appealing way (as in Isaiah 1:18). They may not always accept the opportunity to do it (as in Isaiah 30:15) but they would not be able to blame us for being too harsh. |

2 | How do you say "repent" gently? | Acts 3:26 | John Reformed | 97092 | ||
Rom 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; It is indeed a pleasant experience when fellow christians find themselves in one accord. I also believe that if we take Isa 1:18 as our model, we must not neglect verse 20 and the consequences of continued rebellion in unbelief. Your thoughts? John |
