Biblical repentance as preached by John the Baptist, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Apostles, involved A CHANGE OF MIND TOWARD GOD AND SIN THAT RESULTS IN A CHANGE OF LIFE. Note the following summary of Paul�s message: �But showed 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� (Acts 26:20).

The gospel message preached by Peter on the day of Pentecost and by Paul after Pentecost required repentance and defined that as a mindset to turn to God from evil works. That means NOT posting as false names and writing letters complaining about what you know in your heart that you are guilty of. God knows your games, Jack.

Paul summarized His gospel message as �repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ� (Acts 20:21). The gospel requires that the sinner exercise repentance toward God and faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Biblical repentance is a change of mind toward God and sin that results in a change of life. To say that it has nothing to do with one�s attitude toward sin is to throw away the Bible and nineteen centuries of Bible-believing preaching.

Does Jack Howell who claims to represent the church exhibit a contrite heart? Do you see Jesus in his actions? Nuff said.
