Repentance is belief????
Repentance is a work, guys. Anything we do, that God does not do for us, is a work on our behalf.
Also, the bible clearly specifies the issue of what makes us righteous when it speaks of salvation by works. Nothing else. It matters not whether repentance is tied to faith or not, since repentance is a conscious act that God cannot do for us automatically. Sorry, bros, that is the issue when it comes to works in the bible.
Repentance IS NOT BELIEF, but is done BECAUSE OF BELIEF. It is a choice to ask God to forgive us and is a conscious decision to remove ourselves from the sinful activity we were headed in.
Also, Jesus said BELIEF is a work. Can't deny the bible.
Joh 6:28-29 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? (29) Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
