What is Repentance?

By Stan Cox

I recently had a discussion with a young man with a Baptist background, who was advocating the position that a man is saved at the point of faith. He used typical arguments that I have heard many times before. As we talked I asked him if he thought repentance was necessary for salvation.

In his absolute opposition to the idea God requires any acts of obedience (works), how did he deal with the Bible call to repent? His answer was interesting. He said, "I believe something different than you about repentance. Nowhere…

As Bible students, most of us tend to have our favorite books, favorite passages, and our favorite verses. We have our favorite Bible characters, favorite stories, and we may even have our favorite virtues, or at least those that we deem to be of highest importance in our lives. We spend extra time, and justifiably so, on key texts such as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapters 5-7, the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, or the Marks of a True Christian in Romans 12. As we study these passages and diligently work to add…

This is a command given to every Christian when another Christian turns back to the world. The action must be carried out by every member of the congregation if it is to have the impact God intended. Most Christians recognize the New Testament teachings here and in Matthew, Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Titus regarding collective discipline within the church family. But…
