Where in Acts 2 does it say to repent "of sin"??

It doesn't. none of you are listening. Not only does it not say it in Acts; any of the chapters, but it doesn't say it anywhere in the Bible. It says to repent. Not to repent "of sin". You and everyone who has taught you that is adding that to the scripture. It's not in the Bible. Please produce the chapter and verse that has the prepositional phrase "of sin" of "of your sins" added to the term repent or repentance. Just one verse.

So let's break down the verses you gentlemen shared and see what Pater and Paul are commanding the hearers to repent of.

First off I love Acts 2:36-38 because it's BIBLICAL REPENTANCE.

Acts 2:36 KJV
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

In this verse Peter clearly teaches about faith. He says "Therefore let all the house of Israel KNOW ASSUREDLY" this means to not only know something but to believe it. What do they need to believe? That God had made Jesus both Lord and Christ. This is exactly what Jesus was teaching in the book of John, that you must believe that Jesus is he whom was sent by God.

In Verse 37 we see that those who Peter is preaching to get pricked in their heart. Why? Because he was preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Acts 2:38 KJV
Then Peter said unto them, 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.

What did Peter tell them to repent of in verse 38? He said it in verse 36. That they must "know assuredly that God made Jesus both Lord and Christ. Jesus is their Lord and the Messiah. He told them to repent and believe. It's that simple. He never said repent of sin cuz that's not in the Bible anywhere. But when you do believe what are you saved from? The punishment for your sins, which is (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman). That's equal to the remission of sins which is used elsewhere in the Bible. In fact John taught to repent and believe for the remission of sins.

Next verse which I also love. Paul at Mars Hill where he declared the "UNKNOWN GOD" to those who trust in every god they can except the God that Paul knows very well, the one true God of Heaven and earth, the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob the same God who's word never once contradicts itself nor commands you to "repent of sin".

We see in verse 18 that the strange new doctrine that Paul preached was Jesus and the resurrection meaning the Gospel.

Acts 17:18 KJV
Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

In verses 22-23 we see Paul call the epicureans and stoicks out for being superstitious because they had alters to many gods, and the one to the "unknown god" Paul singled out, and chose to teach them about the God of Heaven for the following 5-6 verses.

Acts 17:22-23 KJV
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. [23] For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

Then after Paul was done calling them ignorant he stated the command from God to repent.. but from what? Did he scold them for being in forincation, or for not tithing. Did he scold them for lying to their parents or not taking care of their children? Or maybe he got in to them for stealing and robbery?!... No, oh yeah he scold them for not believing properly, for having a misplaced faith in an unknown god, but Paul preached to them Jesus and his resurrection.

Every command to repent in reference to salvation is not only about turning from your unbelief or false belief, but turning to the one true God.

Notice what repentance doctrine John the Baptist taught. Yeah that they should believe
Acts 19:4 KJV
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

Jesus commanded that ye repent and believe the gospel.

Mark 1:15 KJV
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

And finally in Matthew 21 we see Jesus, after preaching the definition of repentance(to turn) then telling them what they should do once they repent...

Matthew 21:31-32 KJV
Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. [32] For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Now why would Jesus say that sinner(harlots) go to heaven before the priest and Scribes? Because they have not repented of their unbelief. I mean it's so clear that if you don't understand then you must have been made to believe a lie. They repented NOT afterward, that they might believe. So clear.


And listen obviously the Bibles wisdom isn't for everyone. Some need to go to hours and weeks of school to just begin to understand it after it's been taught to them by other men, but anyone saved can see the clear teachings of the Bible with just a little prayer while reading it.

I like the verses you shared, but it doesn't mean what you think it does and if you read them all in context you can see exactly what it does mean, rather than picking out one verse that says repent and adding the phrase "of sin" to it to make it fit the false doctrine that you believe.

And here is why you should never add anything to the scripture, or take it away for that matter.

Revelation 22:18-19 KJV
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
[19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

See if you add to the Bible i.e. (repent "of sin") the plagues that are written in the book shall be added unto you.
If you take away from the book of this prophecy, God shall remove your part out of the book of life. Meaning you will go to H3||. This is why I know Darby, and Scofield are burning in H3|| because they both openly chose and taught to remove parts of the Bible that didn't fit that doctrine they taught mankind. Don't be like those dead dispensationalists. They were full of dead men's bones.

This is a stark warning to anyone who would ever thing to do these two thing, add or remove from scripture. It will only cost you your life.

Remember the exhortation in Proverbs that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. This is why I will never listen to the wresting of scripture taught my men in church, or Bible college etc, I don't have to answer to you. I have to answer to God

So if an abortion doctor comes to know Grace, that abortionist should continue in the practice knowing that what is being performed is destroying the image bearers of God? The actual salvation experience is the ultimate act of repentance. 2 Corinthians 5:17. How about Romans 6: 1-4? Does not repentance mean "to turn from"?

The Andersonites are tough to dialog with, online or even in person. I've met a few along the way. They don't see spiritual worth in repentance... unless of course, others do it.
But what do I know? I go to church and I went to seminary where men like Chafer, Walvoord, Ryrie, Swindoll, Pentecost, Bailey and more have taught, and where I sat and chatting theology with students from 90 nations around the globe with humility as our guide.

Perhaps we'd do well to remember that the Biblical narrative is one of instruction and truth.... and today's rampant anti-authoritarianism (submission to authority) has no tolerance for that theme, because God is the ultimate authority.

Blessings,
Mark

I'm a Christian. I place my trust in the fact that I'm saved because Jesus shed his blood on the cross to save the world. If that's not so, then there's no hope for mankind. All of us are doomed.

Whether you believe in pre-trib, mid=-trib, or post trib, is immaterial. If you don't believe that, you will encourage more to flee.

It is a lie, and you are being made to believe it. The question is by who?

Should loving God be difficult?

Man in his unregenerate state hates God. The Bible says so.

Does the abortion Doctor sin no more if he never aborts another child?

I take it the stay at home thesis promoters is a jab at Ken .

Your flock must be massive. Congratulations!

Narrow is the way.

Does the abortion Doctor sin no more if he never aborts another child?

Did the woman, guilty of adultry , sin no more? Maybe we should ask does the blood of Christ cover all sin past, present, and future?

You sure used a lot of words to say repentance is a feeling of regret or remorse and is the reason a sinless God can do it and also have it noted in His word. That’s how He explained it to me anyway.
