We mustn't allow the true Gospel message to be PERVERTED - scripture clearly teaches REPENTANCE - NO repentance = NO SALVATION or FORGIVENESS...
Mt 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Lk 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Lk 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Lk 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Lk 10:13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Lk 11:32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Lk 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Lk 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Lk 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Lk 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Lk 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Lk 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
My goodness, could it be any CLEARER? :tsk

This post needs to be the one that guides the rest of the thread. A request was made to show where Jesus mentions repentance. Here are plenty, and Peter (One who certainly knew Jesus' mind on this matter) picks up the chronology in Acts.
This seems quite clear, and common sense would tell us that leaving our former life is necessary to grow in the new one. I am surprised this is even a topic with people on opposite sides. :scratch
