Sorry, OT, it just sounds so convoluted to me. It's an answer of good conscience toward God and also remission of sins (but not our own because repentance does that part of the saving)?

Romans 8:11 shows me what the Spirit does.
Think for a moment. We were born into a sin nature. Sin nature doesn't condemn us but the sin does. So in repentance the blood of Jesus forgives us of our sin. But we still are dominated by our sin nature. That is why Paul said, what shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized, were baptized into his death? Paul teaches us that conversion doesn't just deal with our sins, but baptism also deals with the sin nature (that the old man may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin)
Do you follow me so far?
