What is Biblical Repentance?

Salvation is without works of self-righteousness. Romans 4:5 plainly teaches that a man's faith is COUNTED for righteousness, i.e., the righteousness of Jesus Christ is imputed to one's heavenly record by faith. 

"Repentance is the recognition of my sinnership — the owning before God that I am as vile as He has declared me to be in His holy Word."

SOURCE: Except Ye Repent, by Dr. Harry Ironside, chapter 3

Repentance and faith are inseparable. The Gospel of John mentions the word "believe" 85-times; but the word "repent" is never mentioned even once. In genuine salvation, one who believes on Jesus Christ has repented; and one who repents has believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins.

• A Godly Attitude Toward Heresy (how we are to deal with heretics Biblically)
• Doctrines of the Church? (There are NO doctrines “of the Church”; only the Word of God.)
• Family First; NOT the Church (Biblically, your immediate family comes before the church family. Many marriages today are being destroyed by meddling pastor's wives and other leaders in the church. Our allegiance is to God and His Word; and not to men or an organization. Are you worse than an infidel?)
• Sacraments are Unbiblical (by David J. Stewart)

• False Love Excludes Truth (Many people speak of “love” as if it were all that mattered; but the truth is most important. 1st Corinthians 13:6 tells us that charity (i.e., true love) rejoices in THE TRUTH.)
