| | Concerning Repentance, by James Durham |
 | | The first is that repentance is not legal duty unbecoming for a minister of the gospel to preach, or a professor thereof to exercise with respect to the obtaining of pardon. | | | Repentance is either express and explicit; that is, when men both know such things to be sins, and themselves to be guilty of them, and do expreslly acknowledge the same, and are affected with them. | | | This would be guarded, that repentance be not accounted to be a condition in that same capacity and formality of acting as faith is; because that would either confound the nature of these graces, or wrong the way of the gospel, wherein ever something peculiarly is attributed to faith. |

| | Repentance |
| | The "repentance" excited by a camp-meeting or revival furor, or by exhibition of fabulous scenes in heaven, earth, or hell, has no affinity with that repentance which John and Jesus and the apostles were empowered to preach to sinners. | | | May repentance unto life be to the Doctor through a timely obedience to the gospel of the kingdom in the name of Jesus. | | | Judgment was denounced against the incorrigible, not to bring them to repentance, but because they put the gospel of the kingdom, and the claims of Jesus to its throne, away from them. |

| | Booklet > Fundamental Beliefs of the United Church of God > Repentance |
| | We believe that all who truly repent of their sins in full surrender and willing obedience to God, and who by faith accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, have their sins forgiven by an act of divine grace. | | | Repentance from dead works is listed in Hebrews 6:1 as a part of the foundation that ultimately leads to perfection and eternal life. | | | Repentance is not simply compliance with a system of religion or a set of rules. |

| | Doctrine of the United Pentecostal Church - Except Ye Repent |
| | The requirements for receiving the Holy Spirit are repentance and faith. | | | Peter made this plain in Acts 2:38 - "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost". | | | The Bible declares, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). |

| | "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." | | | "As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." | | | "For thus the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said, 'In repentance and rest you will be saved, in quietness and trust is your strength.'" |

| | Discourse on Repentance |
| | Repent to your God as it is said in the Quran, | | | Repentance is the arising of the noble qualities within against one's own mean and wicked aspects, putting an end to their domination and destroying all their force. | | | Thus, repentance is a reaction of the holy, and noble spirit of the human being against the lower animal self; a holy rebellion of the angelic side against the evil and beastly vices within. |

| | Repentance |
| | In fact, the call to repent is also issued to the church at Ephesus (Rev 2:5), to the church at Pergamos (2:16), and to the church at Sardis (3:3). | | | Repentance, dining with Jesus, fellowship-such are the intertwining threads which the Bible uses to weave this tapestry of truth. | | | For to include faith in repentance, is repugnant to what Paul says in Acts [20:21]-that he testified "both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ;" where he mentions faith and repentance, as two things totally distinct. |

| | Repentance with Joy Helps You Receive God's Presence! |
| | Repentance should be as important a practice to your Christian life as prayer or reading the Bible. | | | I do that because repentance is the word that most accurately describes what you get when you try to fit everything together that the Bible says about growth toward God. | | | I will be teaching you how to joyously repent from seeking to receive earthly glory for yourself to a place of seeking and receiving the presence of God. |

| | CHURCH FATHERS: On Repentance (Tertullian) |
| | That baptismal washing is a sealing of faith, which faith is begun and is commended by the faith of repentance. | | | Not that I deny that the divine benefit--the putting away of sins, I mean--is in every way sure to such as are on the point of entering the (baptismal) water; but what we have to labour for is, that it may be granted us to attain that blessing. | | | John holds not his peace, saying, "Enter upon repentance, for now shall salvation approach the nations"--the Lord, that is, bringing salvation according to God's promise. |

| | He begins by commending gentleness, a quality singularly wanting in the sect; speaks of the power committed to the Church of forgiving the greatest sins, and points out how God is more inclined to mercy than to severity, and refutes the arguments of the Novatians based on certain passages of holy Scripture. | | | It was the outcome of a struggle which had long existed in the Church upon the question of the restitution to Church privileges of those who had fallen into grievous sin, and the possibility of their repentance. | | | These two books were written against the Novatian heresy, which took its name, and to a considerable extent its form, from Novatus, a priest of the Church of Carthage, and Novatian, schismatically consecrated bishop at Rome. |

| | Repentance |
| | He cannot be forgiven and get His blessing until he comes to God repenting of all his sins and asking the blessing. | | | There was no repentance there, and God couldn't save him till he repented. | | | I believe in repentance just as much as I believe in the Word of God. |
