REPENTANCE IS REFORMATION?

 REPENTANCE IS REFORMATION?

2Corinthians 5:1-4, 17-18 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. … Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 

  Biblical repentance is not reformation. 

  Biblical repentance is John 1:12; 3:3; 2Corthinians 5:17 regeneration.

  Dr. Carl McIntire often explained that reformation is putting a new set of clothes on the old man. Whereas regeneration is putting a new man in the old set of clothes.
