“I take “repentance” to mean ask for forgiveness like you really mean it”

True repentance is more than that, it actually means to change; to become a changed person having fully accepted Jesus as Christ and your savior and with your walk with Christ having become “born again” - a new person.

[imardmd1]

True repentance is simply--and only--a change of mind. If that leads to spiritual rebirth, then behavioral changes resultant from that change of mind is an expected progress toward mature responsibilty in service for the Lord.
