Repentance is one of the most important words in the Bible. It is important because it is necessary for salvation. God commands all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30). Unfortunately, it is also the most misunderstood word in the Bible. There are two issues.

First, what is the definition of repentance? Some say the Greek word repent means To change your mind. It is commonly assumed that repentance is being sorry for sin. Another view is that repentance is a decision to turn from sin. Then, some claim repentance is actually turning from sin. Early in church history, the idea arose that original sin and all sins before baptism were removed by baptism. As a result, people waited until near death before getting baptized. To deal with that problem, it was taught that repentance was the cure for post-baptismal sins. Repentance was said to consist of feeling sorry for sin, confessing post baptismal sins, and doing acts of penance. Which definition is biblically correct?
