The question was what verse equates repentance and forgiveness of sins.
AND baptism as well.

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Why is their joy in heaven over repentance, could it be that Jesus is equating repentance to salvation?
No doubt repentance is linked to salvation but it is not salvation in and of itself.

If sin is the issue and sin is forgiven the logical result is salvation.
I'm not talking the logical deduction...that is dangerous ground. I'm talking the scriptural position that salvation is simple forgiveness and no more.

So logic goes out the window when you read Scripture? No danger in logic.

The Pentecostals, are just a minute part of the family of God. The family of God is much broader than many of us realize. I get so tired of defending other believers from those of us who are elitest and exclusionary.

There is danger in logic outside of a Scriptural assertion in my opinion. If the very elect are going to be deceived, by definition it will be a function of their wrong thinking.
