I think repentance is huge and not just an "I'm Sorry" act that is a result of God working in someone's heart.

Mizpeh ....
Your views on this subject reminds me of what my very closest PW friend expressed to me once when we were talking about this. We worked closely together and were very close friends since Bible School. She's definitely PAJC in her views on salvation. She said that repentance resulted in a relationship with God akin to communication wires being strung between us and God.
Well .... lol .... I took her up on that at the time and asked the usual questions and the answers were very unsatisfactory. Communication enablement between me and God doesn't change a life from the inside out. The natural mind has to be transformed spiritually before it can understand or comprehend and desire spiritual things. That's what Scripture says.
So then in your view the Spirit of God transforms a life inwardly resulting in change from the inside out by being WITH them but not IN them?
