No. It is the cornerstone of the fundamentalist heresy. I realize you refuse to accept that there is a difference but it still exists. To repent means to change ones path; if you don’t, then you have not repented. Period.

And there’s the problem. Fundamentalists call others who believe essentially the same book as they, heretics. Catholics called Protestants heretics (and fought a thirty year war over it). Orthodox churches called Catholics heretics over the Nicene Creed.

Saying to me “well, that denomination is heretics” is a non-starter. They all think I’m a heretic.

For me, the problem isn’t thirty thousand Christian denominations all calling each other heretics. To each, 29,999 are wrong but they are right.

Repent to a Christian denomination means exactly what that denomination says it does. It is their faith, and faith is not based on evidence.
