Shatox, Romans 10:13 assures you that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart will save you if you believe and confess, and God forgives and cleanses from all unrighteousness. This begins the life led by the Spirit and guides into all righteousness.
Turning away or repentance is not merely being sorry for what has been done but must include turning toward God. The sanskrit meaning behind the word repent, metanoeo, means to 'change ones mind or purpose' and this heals the broken relationship between man and God. So how does one repent? First, one acknowledges and agrees with what God identifies as sin. Then to the best of ones ability, one quits doing those behaviors and thoughts and begins truly following the loving commands of Jesus. Ask God for clarity on anything that is still unclear after reading the Word. Give thanks for clarification. Then ask in Jesus's name for help to obtain the will, desire, and ability for complete obedience. Give thanks for faith to be brought into everlasting righteousness and stop sinning. This sin is unbelief. Believe only in the leading of the Holy Spirit directly and only into righteousness. Isaiah 12:2 says it is God alone who is salvation. .
WEB says:
Confess therefore your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of the Bible is the righteous person is very powerful and effective. James 5:16
Also Remember the Word said in Romans 1:16;
For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God to either unto salvation for anyone who believes if they are Jew first.
So if you are ready would you like pray together?
