REPENTANCE A CONDITON OF SALVATION?

Post by JSM17 » Tue Nov 21, 2006 9:52 pm

REPENTANCE demands not only a change of thought but a change of life style, does God save those who refuse to change.

If one comes to faith has he already repented? If so how does one change his mind and turn away from sin and turn towards God before he has faith?

If repentance comes after faith and salvation is by faith alone, then how can one be saved without turning away from his sinful life and turning towards God?

If we say that repentance is required for salvation then salvation is not by faith alone?
