You must believe God sent His Son to Earth to die for your sins so you could go to Heaven to live with Him.

Uh, no Jack.

Repentance precedes faith.

We understand faith as

3[2] For our part, the specifics of faith are these: (1) There is one God, the divine Trinity exists within him, and he is the Lord God the Savior Jesus Christ. (2) Believing in him is a faith that saves. (3) We must not do things that are evil - they belong to the Devil and come from the Devil. (4) We must do things that are good - they belong to God and come from God. (5) We must do these things as if we ourselves were doing them, but we must believe that they come from the Lord working with us and through us. The first two points have to do with faith, the second two have to do with goodwill; and the fifth has to do with the partnership between goodwill and faith, the partnership between the Lord and us. (True Christianity ~ Emmanuel Swedenborg)

Need Scripture to support the assertion.

I hope yopu realize that Emmanuel Swedenborg was an illuminist that knew nothing of Jesus Christ. Emmanuel Swedenborg’s works based ‘faith’ was from his occult background.
