I don't understand the question. It seems as if you are asking, "Are you suggesting that there is repentance unto regeneration before regeneration?" or, "Are you suggesting that there is repentance unto salvation before salvation?" |

Okay atdcross, I’ll play along I guess. Answer either of my original questions which were, and I’ll repost: “I disagree with your second comment. Repentance unto life is derived from the Holy Spirit who is convicting us of our sin. It is a divine grace given upon regeneration. How does He do that to an unbeliever? Or are you suggesting that there is repentance unto life before regeneration?” Or answer either of the questions you “think” I’m asking. Maybe that will suffice. You stated: “there is no difference between what is required from believer or unbeliever with respect to the act of repentance.” I’m simply asking you to clarify that statement for me. Maybe tell me what in your estimation is “required” because as I see it, repentance requires faith. So how can an “unbeliever” truly repent. Repentance unto life would come after regeneration and at that point, belief is implied. I’m afraid if I attempt to simplify the questions for you, they will only get more difficult to understand, although I have to admit, they seemed pretty simple and straightforward until you read into them something that was not there.

Lionheart, I cited the incorrect posting for your review. The correct post is ID#167082. Some verses are cited to support my view regarding repentance. My apologies. Also, I can agree with your comment, “The unbeliever will never [repent] till they come to Jesus Christ with a saving faith, which goes way beyond worldly sorrow” and add only that “saving faith” involves repentance, which, in turn, may or may not involve sorrow (godly or otherwise, at least, at the time of conversion) but necessarily involves obedience to God. I say that it may involve sorrow bot not necessarily based upon my own conversion experience. When I came to Christ, I did not have a sorrow for sin; all I was only aware of a strong desire to know God and realized it is only through the Cross of Christ that God is known and experienced. (Just as an aside, I was not even aware that I possessed eternal life until some weeks after my conversion). |
