Speaking In Tongues Does Not Equal Salvation.

My argument is valid and even applies to repentance. I'll walk you through it.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

If repentance is required for salvation then every single person that has believed and been baptized must repent or else Jesus was wrong about how he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved (for there would be some that believed and were baptized but not saved). Therefore, all I need to find is one example of a person that believes and was baptized but never repented to disprove that repenting is required for salvation.

I don't know of any such person do you? Therefore, everyone that believes and has been baptized has repented.

Further, believing on Jesus is the greatest form of repentance there is for there is no greater way that a man can turn from sin than by turning toward God and by believing on Jesus one has turned toward God.
