Bible Note: Azure, I was away sorry for the long delay in answering you. Why I do believe you are right in one sense and so am I! Question; could a person repent to God the Father without having "faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins"? I doubt it. Which is more what I meant by saying you should repent to Jesus. So many people think they are saved who repented to God, but did not do it in the name of Jesus, do not believe in Jesus and so on - that is what I was referring to, that a person should not just repent to the Father and leave Jesus out of the picture. On the other hand if you repent to Jesus alone, He and the Father are one, you are repenting to God the Father through faith in Jesus. I think what I was trying to say and what you are saying actually kind of go together. But I do see what you are saying that the model we find in the Bible is repenting to the Father in the name of Jesus. John 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day." blessings abound, bowler |
