Repentance from dead works
Faith toward God (which includes a basic confession: that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God)

If a person has not repented of sin and if they don't confess an accurate faith in the Lord, what's the point? Remission of sins won't likely occur.
Accurate faith in the Lord?
What does that mean?
