And that is as it should be. Which means that you have a shallow view of repentance, and the preaching of repentance is hardly being heard anymore.
2 CORINTHIANS: GODLY SORROW WORKETH REPENTANCE
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
While the literal meaning of the Greek metanoia is a change of mind, the actual biblical meaning of repentance is far deeper. It is (1) a change of mind, (2) a change of heart, (3) a change of direction in life, (4) a recognition of past sins, (5) an earnest desire to make restitution for past wrongs, (6) a wholehearted acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior, (7) an earnest desire to obey and serve God and Christ, and (8) a total turning away from sins and idols as well as the occult. See the conversion of the Pharisee Saul for a proper understanding of repentance.

You should explain what you mean by "lordship Salvation."
As opposed to what "mental agreement salvation" I give my vote for Jesus salvation? What salvation does not includ Jesus Lordship?

Acts 4:12 KJV
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”
Philippians 2:10-13 KJV
