I'm being serious here........what part of it don't you believe? That they can actually repeat words from someone else and still mean them? I've seen lives completely turned around like this. You can tell when people are sincere and when they're not.
Sometimes I've seen people cry and repent at an altar, but it doesn't last. On the other extreme, I've seen people "make a decision" to follow Jesus with no emotions visible, and they totally turn their lives around. Hopefully most people are somewhere in the middle. I don't think it hurts anyone to shed tears when they're asking for forgiveness, but I don't think it's a requirement.
