Featured More on Repentance

Nowhere does it say "when they call on the name of the Lord." You are adding your philosophy to God's word.
The text says:

Ephesians 2:4-9
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

The text is clear. It does not declare what you claim. You make God a liar. Repent.

 

Repentance is given to Gods Elect through their Saviour Jesus Christ with the remission of sins Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

 

I disagree. Israel is the elect of all nations here in Acts 5:31. Also called the Israel of God Gal 6

 

Romans 9:6-8
But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.

 

What did Paul tell the Philippian jailer to do for salvation from the lake of fire?

Did Nineveh's repentance make any difference to the Assyrians? Was Jonah's message to Nineveh mainly for the benefit of the Northern Kingdom or for Assyria? The NK didn't seem to get the clue if 60 or so years later they all marched naked to Assyria. And, Nineveh's repentance didn't amount to much when 60 years later, they committed some of the greatest acts of brutality in history against the NK. If Assyria could break the code yet even after Amos and Hosea, the NK didn't, it appears that God was communicating with His people and He didn't want them to fall under His judgments but they did anyway.

Fast forward about 300 years. Who was Paul talking to in Romans? Believers in Christ or unbelievers? In Romans 1:18-32, was Paul referring to believers in Christ or unbelievers? What was/is the solution to the 18-32 issues?

Fast forward about 50 years. Who was the Lord speaking to in Revelation 2 and 3? Believers or unbelievers? Who was the Lord speaking to in Revelation 3:20? Believers or unbelievers?

 

"Get the Message yet?"

Which message or, excuse me, Message, or maybe better still MESSAGE, do you think I don't get? And thanks for using Revelation 3:19 to answer one of my questions.

 

I get Acts 3:19 very well and believe it wholeheartedly. I don't have a clue as to why you would think I did not based on my first post.

By the way, you only get partial credit for answering my Revelation 3:20 question, using Revelation 3:19. I didn't want to tell you in my last post for fear that your hair fire might burn down your house. And if you live in an apartment, also out of concern for hapless villagers innocently caught in the blaze.
