"Repentance and faith" are the natural activities of one who has been born again, just as breathing is the natural activity of one who is physically alive.

When one is "born from above", he naturally does those things that regenerate folk do. He practices repentance and faith.

Your point?

Your point?

My I get clarification? Are you saying salvation is impossible without faith and repentance and that faith and repentance are not works?

By the way, since repentance means "to change one's mind or direction," how does one "practice repentence." Do they keep changing their mind and direction?
