Therefore, all I need to find is one example of a person that believes and was baptized but never repented to disprove that repenting is required for salvation.
I don't know of any such person do you? Therefore, everyone that believes and has been baptized has repented.
Further, believing on Jesus is the greatest form of repentance there is for there is no greater way that a man can turn from sin than by turning toward God and by believing on Jesus one has turned toward God. |
Exactly.
And if they were baptized, sans belief, their baptism is invalid anyway.
