salvation/repentance

In acts 2:21 peter is quoting the prophet joel : "and everyone who calls on the name of the lord will be saved." (niv) (as all my quotes will be until further notice.) everyone who calls. this term calls includes faith and response rather than merely using words. As jesus is quoted on the temple of the mount,
" matthew7:21 not everyone who says to me, 'lord,lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my father who is in heaven."
what jesus is saying here is that simply praying the prayer of salvation (modern day terms) will not get you into heaven, either will preaching or healing the sick, but thru repentance and action in turning to the fathers will.
so peter is basically teaching what jesus had taught the apostles that anyone who calls on the name of the lord thru repentance and action shall be saved.
peter continues this teaching thru into acts2:38 where he says to the crowd in jerusalem "repent and be baptized, everyone one of you, in the name of jesus christ for the forgiveness of your sins. and you will recive the gift of the holy spirit. "
Repent- to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed ( inclined) to change one's live for the better. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/repent
what i am trying to stress is that yes we are all called to call on the name of the lord and repent and be baptised, but i believe personaly that the church of america has lost the defention of the word repent because that word is to harsh and we dont want to change our lives. because that would be to extreme, so the next time you read repent in your bible know that it is not just a thing or apology as it says in some defentions it is a turning, of ones very life. how you live how you act is all changed, to the fathers will ( Matthew7:21) our lives need to change to the fathers will no longer can we stay complacent with praying a prayer it is a false sense of peace. coming to church praying the prayer singing the songs will not get you into heaven, only true repentance and conforming of ones life to the fathers will give one entrance the holy place to spend eternity with the most high holy one.
well i hope you enjoyed this message and got something out of it.

I just pray over you right now that the lord would give you a deeper understanding of repentance and his power and ability to change your life by the holy spirit.
