Re: Repentance
John the Baptist came preaching repentance and baptized unto repentance. Remember John was the forerunner or messenger of Jesus. But what John did would not do what the One coming after him Would/Could do.
After his resurrection, he taught his disciples and up until he was going to ascend back to the Father, he gave instructions to them. Telling them NOT to leave Jerusalem but to go to the upper room, and wait for the Promise of the Father. He told them they would receive power AFTER that the Holy Ghost was come upon them.They would then have the power to witness in all the places he mentioned.
Fast forward to Peter and John at the gate Beautiful. Preached, lame man healed, they were put in hold and finally told not preach in THAT NAME anymore. What did they do. They went and preached in the name of Jesus some more. The Holy Ghost had empowered them to be witnesses regardless of the cost.
When people believe that all they have to do is repent are deceived and may go no further, thinking they are saved. Many denominal churches tell them that. That's why they go no further. They are taught against Pentecost.
You may have been repented as a young person and been baptized in Jesus Name and spoke in tongues. But later decide that people are saved at repentance. What about your children that will believe that all they have to do is repent. And your grandchildren who will be short-changed!
Without the HOLY GHOST, you will NOT be connected to the MAIN SOURCE of POWER!
