The word "repentance" means a change of views and purpose, change of heart,
change of mind, change of life, transformation, etc.
Jesus said, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" ( Luke 13:3).
Luke 24:47 says, "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached
in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
In my opinion, this repentance experience is salvation/justification/regeneration. |
Isn't this what Peter told the crowd in Acts chaoter 2 say around verse 38?
