There are three elements of genuine repentance.
1. There is the intellectual element. The Greek word for repentance is metanoia. It means a change of mind. We think differently about sin. No more excusing it, no more ignoring it, now the attitude of the heart has changed. Our thoughts are transformed from being a God hating lover of sin to loving God and desiring to please him in all things.
2. There is an emotional element to repentance. The Apostle Paul wrote, “Godly sorrow works repentance.” David in his penitential Psalm wrote, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.”
3. There is volitional element to repentance. By an act of the will, we turn from sin and trust the Savior. Genuine repentance goes beyond mere intellectual awareness of sin, beyond sorrow over sin, to a real turning from sin as an act of the will in surrender to God in genuine faith and humble obedience.

I feel Terry Wiles John Mushenhouse these are 3 vividly Pentecostal theology elements. Peter Vandever can add 2nd blessing too when he gets to it. But all 3 widely differ from the baptistic regenerative / regeneration theory Charles Page Link Hudson uphold… with which they are closer to Duane L Burgess Kyle Williams than our own repenative #PENTECOST which Philip Williams never got from his granny

Troy Day in what ways do you think my ideas of regeneration are baptistic. Be specific.

Link Hudson ask Charles Page page about his RegGen theory alike

Troy Day I don’t hold to that. The primitive Baptist stuff sounds to me like saying you get saved before you get saved… or saved before you believe.
