not mutually exclusive. we are all sinners, repentance requires recognizing that we are and that Jesus is the answer.
Nope. I never “recognized I was a sinner.” I only knew I needed Jesus. “Recognizing you are a sinner” is not a biblical requirement for being saved but ADDS a work. The gospel is the GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITHOUT WORKS.
Sin consciousnesses never saved anyone. Jesus consciousness is what saves us.
All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:13.
