What Does Repentance Look Like?
What does repentance look like?
If a person is required to repent before being saved, how does sanctification come into play?
I know my answers and they would be in line with what I think your answers will be-- but please indulge me in this thread.

Re: What Does Repentance Look Like?
Real repentance is the lost doctrine of "forsaking all" for Christ.
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:25-26
It involves a complete turning of ones life over to Christ.

But I prayed a prayer and really meant it. Isn't that good enough?

Repentance initially leads to desiring to be identified with Christ... in baptism.
From there, it is learning how to put on Christ... as one is conformed into the very image and likeness of Jesus.

Not letting sin reign in one's mortal body, is the short and sweet of it.
Said another way, not living out one's life to the lusts of the flesh.

2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
2Co 7:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

Re: What Does Repentance Look Like?
Repentance, according to Peter's Pentecostal sermon, has more to do with turning from unbelief than turning from specific sins.
