Is repentance necessary for salvation?

Jason Dohm explains in this video that repentance is absolutely necessary for salvation because repentance is always joined with faith and salvation comes through faith alone. 

In Acts 3:19, Peter declares, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." It is very clear from that one verse - repent and be converted. These two words are joined. You cannot be converted without repentance.  

2 Timothy 2:22 (NKJV) - "Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." 



Repentance is absolutely necessary for salvation and it's because repentance is always joined with faith and salvation is through faith alone. In Acts chapter 3 Peter's preaching a sermon and he says, repent and be converted that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. So it's very explicit in that verse. Acts chapter 3, Peter preaching, repent and be converted. They're put there together.

You cannot be converted without repentance because it's what you're turning from and what you're turning to by faith is the Lord Jesus Christ.
