    In the church age repentance is breaking frame from your current way of thinking . Letting go of a current set of propositions your holding .
    Agree ? disagree ? why or why not ?

    I would say yes that Christians "repent" even as a way of life because the word "repent"(Greek : metanoia) means - to change one's mind.

    As a child of God I am convicted by the Holy Spirit of sin and through HIS help i change my way of thinking and through His guidance redirect my walk through life and conform to His image.

    This happened quite a bit in the first 2 or so years of my Christian walk before the LORD and yet continues.

    We are changed in this way by the following work of the Spirit:

    2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed (Greek - Metamorphoo) into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

    So as we continue to rethink our way of life through the word and guidance of the Holy Spirit we are slowly changed (metamorphosis) by the Spirit to show forth the image of Christ.
