So Romans 10.9,10 and 1 cor 15 .1-4 is not the Gospel ?
Click to expand...

you can read into it all you would like, but if you see what I said that Acts 2:38

"Jesus said to repent Peter said to and so did Paul."

Rome 10:9-10

is not the only thing said in that chapter nor did i suggest it is not valued or not the gospel.

Rome 10: 3 says :
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
Rome10:4 says:
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Ver 13 says those who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. the earlier verses establish that those who are calling on the Lord have done so in faith

they have repented, the have Submitted ( surrendered), and they have received.

What do you mean by ' repent ' ? and what do you mean by ' surrenders their life ' ?
Click to expand...
did anyone just wake up today and say " I will follow Jesus without seeing their needs for HIM? IF Jesus said to repent , Peter said to repent, Paul said to repent. The Old Testament tell us to repent, the New Testament tell us to repent. we are to repent.


And Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Why is that so controversial ?

2cor 7:9
2tim 2:25
Heb 6:1
2pet 3:9



it is not just repenting all things: it is faith, obedience, repenting, surrendering to Christ it receiving of the Holy Spirit all the working of Grace trigged by the preaching of the word of God, from the truth of the Death burial , and resurrection of Jesus Christ and His Cross .

Gospel truth is always controversial to those who hate the truth, and prefer man-made doctrines (which ultimately come from Satan).

There should be absolutely no controversy about Gospel truth among genuine Christians. But we see arguments about the fundamentals daily.

My point is that God repents numerous times ,so we have to define what we mean . For some ' repent ' means ' turn from sins ' or ' stop sinning ' which would be false.

I've already said what the Gospel is and how someone can be saved . As believers we should have this message of reconciliation down . Romans 10.9,10 . Romans 1.16 . 1 cor 15.1-4
eph 1.13-14 . Notice no ' repentance '

If you think you can have biblical faith Without true biblical repentance Your wrong

you will never come to faith Apart from changing you view of yourself and god

//you will never come to faith Apart from changing you view of yourself and god// I agree . Thats why we have to ' persuade men with the Gospel . Reasoning with them as Paul did . From the scriptures. Rom 1.16 . 1cor 15 ,1-4 . Romans 10 .9,10 ect
