Repentance according to the Bible means a "change of mind". In the Greek language of the New Testament, "repentance" (Gr. metanoia) means "to change one's mind". A clear example of this is found in Hebrews 12:17, which says: "For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind [Gr. metanoias] in his father, though he sought it diligently with tears" (Hebrews 12:17, ASV). Twist this Scripture to your own destruction, O ye Calvinists!
