If one is not totally submitted to God, then one does not obey the Great Commandment, and thus one has not in fact truly repented.
Right?

Not what I meant at all. What I was referring to was the same thing that Paul talks of when he speaks of the inner war that rages within believers between the flesh and the Spirit
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
At the point of sanctification the flesh (carnal nature) is done away with/removed. Then there is total submission. Before this happens total submission is not possible
Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
