Hi and 1P 1P was started by one poster on this forum !!
If Jews are saved the same as us , give a verse that says that ??
Anyone that is saved today has to be saved by the Grace of God as Rom 16:25 and Rom 10:9 as Paul is the PATTERN in 1 Tim 1:16 explains !!
Where does it say that GENTILES have to Repent , with a verse ??
dan p
Said repentence (turning from and turning to)...is found in Paul's own testimony - of his having turned from, and turned to.
And in that same testimony, he relates that Christ instructed him to go out and persuade others to repent - to turn from, and turn to.
Acts 26:9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 26:10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. 26:11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
26:12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, 26:13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
It's there more than once.
It is then summarized as a turing from (repent) and turn to...God.
To open their eyes, and...
...to turn them...
...from...
...darkness...
...to light, and...
...from...
...the power of Satan...
...unto...God,
that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
Repentence: to turn from one thing, to another and or to change one's mind from one perspective and or intent...to another.
Exodus 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
1 Thessalonians 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
Ye turned...
...to...
God...
...from...
...idols...
...to...
...serve Him.
Though another definition is remorse.
Genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
2 Corinthians 7:8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Though, here in 2 Corinthians 7, the salvation being referred to is the issue deliverance from continuing in an error.
2 Corinthians 7:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 7:12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
