If the "preacher's boy" truly came to a saving faith in Jesus Christ while on the aircraft, his repentance would have been immediate. And so, all that would remain in your story would be for the young man to carry the report of his conversion to his father.
It is the report of his conversion that would have been interrupted by the imagined explosion, not the young man's repentance.
It may be that he was also convicted in his heart about some angry words that he had shared with his father at some point - Repentance would of course necessitate apologies and reconciliation, but that involves his relationship with his earthly father.
You really need to see conversion and belief in Jesus Christ as an interactation between the human heart and the Holy Spirit. Once you have done so, I believe that you will understand saving faith more clearly.

And before you make yourself look even sillier - how about cleaning up your sig line? Your attempt at hautiness fails when you use such poor English. You merely come across as absurd and embarrass the rest of us Apostolics who fear that the lurkers will put us all into the same basket as your sophomoric rants.
