The gospel can be summarized in different ways. Sometimes faith alone is named as the one thing necessary for salvation (John 3:16, Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9). Other times repentance alone is named (Luke 24:47, Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30). And sometimes both are named (Acts 20:21). Genuine faith always involves repentance and vice versa. They are 2 sides of the same coin. Repentance is a change of mind resulting in a change of life (Matthew 3:8, Acts 26:20, Ezekiel 14:6, Revelation 2:5). They (repentance and faith) are gifts from God granted to the believer ( 2 Timothy 2:25, Acts 3:16, Acts 5:31, Acts 11:18, Ephesians 2:8-9, Phillipians 1:29). Jesus Himself said to repent and believe the gospel (Mark 1:14-15) and whoever does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire (Matthew 7:19). https://youtube/watch?v=fey2k-NwAC8
