Lordship Salvation IS believing you have to rid your life of sins to be saved.
... from a guy who believes there are multiple gospels. Bwahahaha!
Lordship Salvation IS believing you have to rid your life of sins to be saved.
Repentance is translated from 1 of 3 Greek words each time it is used in the NT.2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Acts 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.
Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
You'd have to be Biblically illiterate to think there's only 1 gospel in the Bible: the Mystery of the Gospel of Grace was not revealed in clarity until Paul, therefore the Gospel of the Kingdom understood before it cannot possibly be the same.from a guy who believes there are multiple gospels.

Nother change of subject from our ADD-afflicted special guy!Lordship Salvation will send you straight to hell.
1. Meaning "preach to change your mind and the remission of sins". Do you know how sins are remitted? By the blood of Christ. Not by you turning from them. That denies the blood payment.The Gospel involves repentance and remission of sins (Luke 24)
Yeah, that's written TO the Church the Body of Christ IN the Church Age, and it's talking about the Gospel of the Grace of God."But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." Galatians 1.8
So if we use the change of mind definition, why did Jesus not come to call those who believed themselves to be righteous to repentance? The righteous and the sinners have the same ability to change their mind in every area except one. Only those who recognize they are sinners can repent of their former sinful lifestyle.Repentance is translated from 1 of 3 Greek words each time it is used in the NT.
The 1st means to "change your mind",
The 2nd means "to regret",
The 3rd means "irrevocable".
Every time it is used in reference to eternal salvation, it is the 1st meaning (metanoia / metanoeo),
which means to change your mind, not to turn from sin. You have to read it in context and see what they're changing they're mind about.
God talks about himself repenting in the OT. Is God turning from his sins? God has no sin.
No wonder you behave like a devil: you're not saved. You reject the Gospel of Grace and think you have to "repent of your sins"!
You'd have to be Biblically illiterate to think there's only 1 gospel in the Bible: the Mystery of the Gospel of Grace was not revealed in clarity until Paul, therefore the Gospel of the Kingdom understood before it cannot possibly be the same.
While the 12 Apostles were already preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Bible clearly states they did not know the Gospel of the Grace of God, therefore how can they be the same Gospel?
Use your brain.
Yes, precisely. Meaning you have to recognize you are a sinner to recognize your need for Christ's payment.Luke 5:32
I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
And you twisted it to high heaven. Nowhere in the passage you quoted does it say to turn from your sins OR repent of your sins. Nowhere.All I do is quote a simple, clear passage
Wait...no that part isn't for this age.All I do is quote a simple, clear passage on what the gospel is and we get a twisted, convoluted post trying to deny repentance (including the fruit of repentance) and remission of sins.
If you realize you are a sinner and you are coming before a perfect God recognizing your condition and changing your mind to recognize your sinful ways as evil-would it not be normal to regret those evil ways and desire to desist from the evil activities?Yes, precisely. Meaning you have to recognize you are a sinner to recognize your need for Christ's payment.
If you are trying to turn from your sins to get into heaven, you think you have to be righteous.
"For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God." -Rom 10:3
And you twisted it to high heaven. Nowhere in the passage you quoted does it say to turn from your sins OR repent of your sins. Nowhere.
You don't get it, that's not the point of Salvation.If you realize you are a sinner and you are coming before a perfect God recognizing your condition and changing your mind to recognize your sinful ways as evil-would it not be normal to regret those evil ways and desire to desist from the evil activities?
Actually the part about believing in Christ for the remission of sins is applied to ALL ages AFTER the cross, but keep in mind that the Great Commission is a package that includes teaching all of the things Christ taught them (which includes Matt. 24) much of which was preparing the Jews to endure through the Great Tribulation to enter into their Physical Kingdom (not the Spiritual Kingdom of God within you).Wait...no that part isn't for this age.
The publican showed his remorse for his sin in his actions. Why did he stand afar off? Why would he not look to Heaven? He recognized his sinful disposition. I'm not saying that you have to enumerate every sin. At times it may be a short simple prayer such as the publican's. However if nothing changes with his life after the prayer and he continues in his sin unbothered by it (as the pharisee seemed to be) it would be fair to question whether their was truly repentance.Do you remember the parable from Luke 18?
"And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous [meaning they were trying to turn from, abstaining from, or live righteously apart from sin to get into heaven], and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican [translation: "God, I'm turning from my sins. I'm abstaining from them. I'm bearing fruits."]. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess [More boasting in his turning from sin]. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner [nothing about him turning from sin to get into heaven, he's recognizing he is condemned in sin and cannot save himself no matter how hard he tries to turn from them, he's recognizing only God can save him, his effort in turning from, abstaining from, living apart from sin, FALLS SHORT, and he knows this. He recognizes only God can save him, he can NEVER be righteous enough on his own. THAT is repentance]. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other"
Godly sorrow can LEAD to repentance (2 Cor. 7:10), but it is not the repentance itself unto Salvation.The publican showed his remorse for his sin in his actions.
