Title: How do you answer this question and evidence? Post by: WillGreek on March 07, 2004, 02:45:53 PM The noun repentance has a common thread, "EIS". Eis is a preposition. En is a preposition. These two preposition
make it plain and clear their meaning. We go INTO[eis] the church building and while IN[en] church we watch the wedding ceremony. We go INTO repentance, but then we must get IN Christ Jesus. How do you say we get IN Christ Jesus? 1. All should come INTO repentance. But will they? 2. God gives repentance INTO acknowledging of the truth. 3. The goodness of God leads you INTO repentance. But will it lead you? 4. Repentance INTO the remission of sins. 5. God calls sinners INTO repentance. 2Pet 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come [to[eis] repentance. Heb 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again [unto[eis] repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame. 2Tim 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance [to[eis] the acknowledging of the truth; 2Cor 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance [to[eis] salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 2Cor 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed [to[eis] repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee [to[eis] repentance? Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe [on[eis] him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. Lk 24:47 And that repentance [and[eis] remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Lk 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners [to[eis] repentance. Lk 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance [for[eis] the remission of sins; Mk 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance [for[eis] the remission of sins. Mt 3:11 I indeed baptize you [with[en] water [unto[eis] repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you [with[en] the Holy Ghost and fire: Title: Re:How do you answer this question and evidence?

In the end it comes down to this: And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30) It is a miracle anyone does come to repentance. Not sorry, but sorrowed to repentance: For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 2 Cor 7:10 Blessings, Petro Title: Re:How do you answer this question and evidence? Post by: ollie on March 07, 2004, 07:57:36 PM How do you say we get IN Christ Jesus? Through Faith that brings repentance and baptism. See Galatians 3:26 below. 1. All should come INTO repentance. But will they? Only those that hear and believe. 2. God gives repentance INTO acknowledging of the truth. 3. The goodness of God leads you INTO repentance. But will it lead you? Only if your heart is pricked by the word. 4. Repentance INTO the remission of sins. 5. God calls sinners INTO repentance. By the gospel of Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in[/b], (Strong's #1722), Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into, (Strong's #1519), Christ have put on Christ.
