It needs to be defined by YOU, because anyone who uses the term "fully" in the context of repentance (as if there is something less than) has most likely never repented.

You started this discussion but the problem is, there are at least two major and opposing definitions of repent in common usage today. If you really want an honest discussion, be honest and say which one you mean (though I'll bet it's "stop sinning").

Obviously, I have hit a nerve. Repentance must be something you all haven't thought much about, an alien word, and now are caught off guard and wish to rag on me to find something I might offer up that will excuse your ignorance.
No way. Go with my last __ or read one of your self-help books whose title might reveal an answer..

Yeah, i didn't think you were willing to give an account of the hope within you. Out of your mouth your heart speaks, loudly.

Not trying to be aggravating nor debating but could you
Define from scripture "full repentance"
For that matter, please show me where the phrase "full repentance" appears in scripture?
Romans 5:6-11 ...
Did God wait for our "full repentance"?
I John 5:13
I have eternal life now and I know it.
Why wait for I Thessalonians 4:13-18 to come to pass to find out since you can know now?
Who knows how to discuss something with you? You aren't even willing to explain what you mean in your own op. No one can discuss anything when you aren't willing to tell people how you are defining what you are asking.
Confusion is not of God, so either stop playing games, or tell us what you mean by repentance, and how one can only repent partially like your op suggests. Define your discussion terms or stop wasting peoples time.

One has either turned 180 degrees from sin or not. Does this mean anybody in the flesh is going to be sinless perfection? No. But we forsake sin, accept the Lord Jesus Christ in faith, and walk in the light of Christ, in newness of life, being born again of the Holy Spirit, as new creatures in Christ, or we've not been born again.
