Repentance and Conversion
“Repent therefore, and turn
again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from
the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you,
Jesus,” (Acts
3:19-20, ESV)
Why
did the early assembly of believers baptize a new convert immediately?
What was seen in those converts that led them to be baptized immediately?
Why
do we delay baptism today to new converts? Why do we find it necessary to offer
classes on baptism? What is it that we don’t see or aren’t seeing that would
cause us to delay baptism of a new convert?
Why
is the gospel seemingly so ineffective today?
Does
justification of the soul have any effect or obligation on behavior?
Why
is the “Sinner’s Prayer” and the concept of “ask Jesus into your heart” such
dangerous aberrations to the gospel?
What
is repentance and conversion?

Wow, can of worms, brother! Good luck with that. Looking forward to seeing what folks have to say. My own opinions I'm afraid might be too verbose for this forum!
