There is absolutely no question that Paul did repent (i.e., had a change of direction in his heart), as is clearly attested to in scripture. Therefore, the question being raised isn’t really an issue of exactly where (or when) this change within him may have occurred, other then how it relates to having occurred before or after his salvation. If his salvation preceded his repentance, then surely it must be attributed completely and entirely to God’s grace (and foreknowledge), given that Saul/Paul was a “chosen vessel.” (see Exodus 33:19;Acts 9:15.)
Peter spoke (to the whole house of Israel) on the day of Pentecost and instructed them to “repent and be saved.” However, Paul preaches a slightly different message that makes little to no mention of repentance being required as a condition of salvation, referring to his message of salvation by a new name, “the gospel of the grace of God.” (Acts 20:24.) In fact, Paul states that it is the goodness of God that leads one to repentance in Romans 2:4.
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and
longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to
repentance?
Repentance, at some point, is what God commands of all men (Acts 17:30)… but why is there so little mention of it in all of Paul’s epistles if it is thought to be a prerequisite to salvation?
Is it because the Gentile nations were not under the law (as Israel was) and would simply not relate to repentance in the same way that Israel did?
Romans 4
[15] Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no
transgression. [16] Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by
grace…
This question has evolved from another question (that was downvoted twice, for reasons I do not understand) that is posted here:

Troy Day and if Trump wins in 2020 does that make Peter Wehner a liar since he says the Trump presidency is over? Trump haters and Never-Trumpers are weaponizing a crisis, which is to be expected. Truth is, every government reaction to a crisis can be shown in its worst light or its best light, Wehner chose the former. The truth is somewhere in between. Too bad you can’t see that.

give us the scoop on the ground Joseph Castillo Are you still there and preaching every week in the country ?

Luke 21:11 cautions us that there will be ‘pestilences in various places & fearful events’ in the final days. While we don’t know if the ‘pestilences’ Jesus mentions refers directly to COVID-19, is it a warning?
Most will admit it is definitely ‘fearful!’
Revelation 6:5-8 says that in the final days, the world will be rocked by subsequent famines & plagues.
In the U.S., (as of yesterday, Friday 3/13) the cases of Coronavirus in 47 states have crossed 1600 infections & the death toll has risen to over 40 with an even larger impact globally. Around the world, there are over 137,445 cases & over 5,000 deaths from the virus affecting over 118 countries.
The word pestilence comes from the Greek word “loymos” which means plague, a fatal epidemic disease.
There are many who believe that the pestilences that Jesus spoke about will be fulfilled in the first 3 1/2 years of the seven-year tribulation period that follows the rapture.

Robert W. Graves I just read where Neil Steven Lawrence wrote
Keep the BIG PICTURE IN MIND: Coronavirus is small compared to what happened TODAY in the world (and every single day this year on average). This is according to worldometers.info that uses sources like the WHO and CDC. I just took a screenshot. So seriously–we have to clean out the shelves in our local grocery store because of coronavirus? Looks like they are shutting them down in Kenya as well
THE BIGGEST problem I’ve seen so far – and I am no medical person IS THAT
even when ppl are well after the #coronavirus their LUNGS have a loss of 20-30% Alan Smith can tell us if its true

Troy Day every disaster presents an opportunity. Kingdom opportunities, investment opportunities, relationship opportunities, influence opportunities… Don’t waste your opportunities!
