REPENTANCE ISSUE SIMPLIFIED There are generally three views of repentance, and only one is correct. Sure, one can offer up a dozen views, but they will all end up being very similar to one of the following . . . The EMPTY-BELIEVE view. Just pray a prayer and make a profession. You get eternal life as a Christian because you professed to have changed your mind about believing, even though your sinful life never changes and you bear no fruits of the spirit. The WORKS-BELIEVE view. You profess to believe on Christ, but you also mingle that belief with turning from your sins TO BE saved. The fruit becomes the root, which amounts to salvation by works. The BIBLE-BELIEVING view. Seeing no hope in any self effort, you receive Christ by faith and become a new creature, born of His Spirit to now live a new life with the fruits of the Spirit manifesting themselves as you grow in the Lord.
