DID YOU REPENT IN ACTS 26:20 ? -
April 4th, 2012, 12:25 PM
Hi to all , and when I had posted that we do not have to repent , I knew , that many would be in opposition .
Many were looking up the word " Repentance " and then say , Dan p is crazy , because here in Matt 3:2 , John is saying to Repent !!
In Matt 4:17 , even Jesus says to Repent !!
But we know that John and Jesus are speaking to the Nation of Israel !!
In , Heb 6:6 , if Israel falls away , they will never be able to Repent again , SINCE they Rejected Christ as MESSIAH and in Acts 28:25-31 , they were set aside .
Then many refer me to Acts 26:20 , here , even the Gentiles are called to repent and now get out of this corner , dan p!!
Here is a word for word translation of Acts 26:20 , as Paul is speaking to King Agrippa !!
But proclaiming first to the ones in Damascus and at Jerusalem , and to all the region of Judea and to the Gentiles to REPENT and to turn unto God , DOING WORKS , befitting the change of mind , which to REPENT !!
They say to me , SEE , SEE , here it is , we all have too Repent , can't dan p , see it , an yes I see it !!
In Acts 10:2 we see a Gentile that ;
#1 , a devout man
#2 , one that feared God
#3 , gave to Israel
#4 , and prayed to God
And this is what Acts 26:20 , means when speaking to Gentiles in Christ time !!
BUT , those in Opposition to my OP , just see one thing in verse 20 " REPENT " and never read the rest of that verse and this what they MISS !!
I highlighted it " DOING WORKS " , WHEW , and how does , those who believe in Repentance , HANDLE it now ??
All who read Matt 3:7-8 , Matthew told the Pharisees and Saducees to bring FRUIT , or Works of Repentance , because John refused to water baptism them .
We are never told to SHOW FRUIT or DOING WORKS before Repentance and Salvation , are we ?

Repentance is a biblical theme from Genesis to Revelation. MAD has an aversion to words that are not hyper-grace (they reject a straw man view of biblical repentance).
Know God and make Him known! (YWAM)
They said: "Where is the God of Elijah?"
I say: "Where are the Elijahs of God?" (Ravenhill "Why Revival Tarries")

"they reject a straw man view of biblical repentance"=This poser has an aversion to words that are not word for word copy 'n paste spam from his auto pilot spam cliche program.
And? That isn't a part of the discussion. Dan asked about repentence in terms of salvation. Paul was talking about post salvation edification. Different subject.
Hi , and Nick M , NAILED for you and it is obviously that you do not no what 2 Cor 12:21 is saying and here is a word for word translation .
Verse 21 says , " Lest having come again , my God should humble me before you , and I should mourn for many of the ones HAVING SINNED BEFORE ;
#1 , " HAVING SINNED BEFORE " is also used in 2 Cor 13:2 !!
#2 , " Having sinned before " is in the Greek Perfect Tense , used in both Verse 21 and in verse 2 .
#3 , This means that the people Paul is talking to are SAVED !!
#4 , And since being saved HAVE NOT CHANGED THEIR MINDS , over the uncleanness and Fornication ( 1 Cor 5:1 ) and unbridled lust which they have Practised .

Are you saying only the nation of Israel needs to repent?
Acts 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Deuteronomy 10:12 (KJV) And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
Deuteronomy 10:13 (KJV) To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
MAD falls apart on this topic when one does a Hebrew/Greek word study of repentance and its forms in all contexts, including Pauline ones. Change the view, not the Bible.

Repentance is a biblical theme from Genesis to Revelation. MAD has an aversion to words that are not hyper-grace (they reject a straw man view of biblical repentance).
They reject it because they want this world and heaven.
Their vile corrupt garbage gospel caters solely for the flesh alone, and they indulge it to the max.
Delight yourself in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. . Psalms 37:4
