Hence, making the determination to repent after ... may not believing on Jesus Christ ... a believer would repent ... it's procrastination, my good friend
.... to shut up Dad ... or uncertainty in the message ... both are UNBELIEF ... and for this one is condemned. Or did repent in his heart ... but understood that their would be a lifestyle change that would occur after stepping off that plane.
Repentance is not a one-stop shop at the altar... it is a heart that relies, surrenders, trusts, clings to Jesus Christ ... in faith and turns to Him in
action and deed.
Once again, another clear-cut example that my 3 step brethren don't know what faith means ... to them it's just mental assent.

2. We are baptized because we are saved ... our regeneration, New Birth, according to the 1 stepper an the rest of Protest Orthodoxy, believes this happens at the point of faith and repent ...
For the baptismal regenerationist, one is forgiven at repentance but our sins are not remitted/washed/ wipe until the properly administered baptism ... this of course not found in the bible ... nor in the words of the Christ or the Apostles.
baptizer gets it right and helps in effectuating the application of the blood through his articulations.
God knows a humble and contrite ... heart he cannot reject or despise it .... therefore he knows in his Omniscience that a truly repentant life would or
would have not obeyed His Word though the love relationship He establishes in the heart of a believer.
1 Cor ... do you know what repentance really is ... and what it looks like ... since apparently you struggle with what faith is.
Are you God to know and peek into the hearts of men?
If so ... then your logic is sound.

BUMP FOR 1 COR ...
now stop wasting my posts ... I'm on the budget plan.
Atheists are not saved ... repentant believers are.
