Believing Jesus is the Christ, per Acts of the Apostles 10:43, "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."
So disregard acts 2.37,38?

What is the argment I am making? The word translatied "repent ye" presedes "believe" in Mark 1:15.Can you read? Mark 1.15 says first REPENT!
How is my argument false?Without biblical repentance belief is impossible.
". . . be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, . . ." Hear this, conversion is impossible without a changed mind. Throw out your unBiblical view of "repentance."And acts 3.19?

To seperate Faith and Repentance is foolish. One cannot have repentance without faith, nor faith without repentance. There is no such thing as unrepentant faith.
How can one be converted without first a changed mind? μετανοησατεHere it is in full
New King James Version Acts 3:19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
No such thing in the Bible.unrepentant faith.

Do you reject Ephesians 2?this is nothing more than "Reformed theology", and NOT Bible! Read John 16:1-10 and see that "the world" of sinners is "convicted" by the Holy Spirit, some will reject as in Acts 7:51, while others will accept. Human "will" has not been destroyed completely at the fall, as some would have us believe!
They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
The use of the instruction "to repent" is not reported in the gospel according to John.
John 5:24, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
Without biblical repentance belief is impossible.
Biblical repentance always precedes faith, Mark 1:15.
Now in John's letter, 1 John 1:8-9, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Now this promise is not to the lost person but to the one who is already saved. Someone who has the Spirit of truth in them.
No such thing in the Bible.
The issue is what is repentance
How do people who are dead in sin, repent of sins they don't believe are sins?
Rpentance is to make a change of mind, heart, and action, by turning away from sin and self and returning to God.
Please show us where the ungodly repent in this passage you used as a prooftext
