That does not even make sense, 'grace up the regeneration'.
You are the one who pretends to know and does not know.
Grace is that we no longer have to clean ourselves just to go to a temple to worship God, for that is where His Spirit was.
Grace is that Jesus' blood cleans us of the sins we repent of doing, and we become the temple.
Repentance is something we have to do to get in Jesus and be in the Father.
Repentance is obedience to Christ and it is what we have to do to make our faith alive.
The gift is the Holy Spirit, which is eternal life.
Edited: "in" the regeneration...typo.
We do not repent. Repentance is a gift. Man is called upon the trust and repent, but man is not equipped to do either. Man is called upon to be Holy, but man is incapable of making himself holy.
The English word repent is taken from the Romance and the Latin and gives us a confused meaning that depicts sorrow. The Greek gives the perfect sense and is a blend word. Both root words in Greek convey the original meaning. You go along with the idea that repent means sorrow, but it doesn't. The fruit of repentance generates sorrow, but sorrow is secondary. You follow your parrot fashion use of words, but I'll stay with true meaning.
I had a friend around last night for a Bible study on repentance and it lasted 3 hours. We'll need to continue next week. The word grace doesn't appear in the OT, but there is another word that bares a very similar meaning, but the parrot fashion club wouldn't know that, because they don't study the Bible nor the words contained therein.
Repentance is provided at regeneration and whenever needed through a man's life. I hope you are one day granted repentance.
It's interesting that in the 17 years I've been saved only one other person has given an almost correct account of what repentance means, but his was an academic study rather than an experience. Mine was the experience followed by study so that I would greatly appreciate the gift and to know what was happening each time I was granted repentance. In the first couple of years I was granted repentance on very many occasions and at one point my repentance ran into months of study and heartbreaking times.
I posted this on FB yesterday and just realised that it gives a good sense on what the result of repentance is: “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions”. The “new experience would be repentance” given in regard to a specific viewpoint, mindset, error or sin. I am a sinner, but I am a repentant sinner, by nature and understanding, not in parrot fashion.
In the order of salvation repentance precedes trust. The gifting is so close that it couldn’t be timed, but repentance is received just before trust(faith). Repent ye and trust as commanded by Messiah.
“And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Elohim approacheth: repent ye, and trust the evangelism”. Mark 1:15
