S. The forgiveness of sin for which repentance is an indispensable necessity is the forgiveness of sin in· cluded in justification, and therefore there is no justification without repentance (all quotes - Norman Shepherd)

12. Faith which Is not obedient faith is dead faith and neither saves nor justifies; living and active faith justifies.

II. Justifying faith is obedient faith, that is, "faith working through love," and therefore faith that yields obedience to the commands of Scripture.

Faith & repentance are so inextricably Inter· twined...that there cannot exist a true & saving apprehension of the mercy of Christ without a grief for and hatred of sin, a turning unto God, & a purposing and endeavoring to walk with God in all the ways of his commandments

A Jesus based Christianity in life is based upon a life of loving obedient faithfulness to our risen Lord who through his grace has provided salvation for those who repent and believe. - not about anything you friends said. @iraneous @calebblack @paulryangmc

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV A person can be saved only because of the grace of God and trusting in his atoning death on the cross.

An individual is saved by grace through Faith when he repents and believes this rejecting of sin and trusting is reckoned for righteousness. A continuous obedience then is how one knows they know him.

I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live. Deut 30 :6 Nasb

To say that we can become, live or have our christianity based on; an apart from doing his will, Apart from the work of faith apart from obedience to the command to believe, apart from repentance is incorrect. Acts 17:30 kjv but now (God)commandeth all men every where to repent

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful worksAnd then will I profess unto them I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt 7:15, 21-23 KJV

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

To argue that one is initially saved without (or apart from) repentance, or obedience to God's command to repent and believe. And to further say one can live a Christian Life founded upon a belief apart from obedience and repentance. Is false

But because of God's grace and Christ's death is what provide a the opportunity for salvation does not mean that we do not need to repent and believe ie jesus's first words Mk 1:15" repent ye, and believe the gospel."

It takes a special level of perversity to counter accusations that you are kowtowing to Chinese intimidation by tearing into America. And it takes an even more special level to tear into America by attacking non-governmental criminal activity to justify Chinese tyranny.
