Well, I asked you before what you meant by the word "turning", and I did not catch a direct reply back. If I missed you reply back it is for a good reason. For when you keep repeating the same verses over and over again it should be no surprise to you that I would glaze over such repeated information like a glazed donut.My whole point is exactly opposite of this erroneous statement you have made here.
I never ever said a person is to turn away from sin.
My whole point says you must turn away from Satan as Lord, by confessing Jesus as Lord.
If Jesus is not your Lord, then Satan is your Lord.
I have stated this over and over and over again, many, many times, only to have to deceitfully misrepresent what I have said.
A person can not turn away from sin, while under the dominion of Satan.
The way a person is forgiven their sins, is to turn away from Satan, by confessing Jesus as Lord.
17 I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, 18 to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’ Acts 26:17-18
....that they may receive forgiveness of sins
The way to receive the forgiveness of sins is to turn from Satan to God, by confessing Jesus as Lord.

Anyways, as I understand it now, your definition of "turning" is to confess Jesus is Lord as a means of changing allegiances. If this is the case, then are you saying that Peter was telling Simon to get his heart right with God by telling him to confess that Jesus is Lord as a solution for his sin in trying to pay for the Spirit? If so, then that doesn't make any sense. Granted, I know you think Simon is a believer and his version of repentance is not the same as others. But that doesn't jive because Simon's heart was not right with God and he was in the bond of iniquity. He was unsaved and needed to be saved (just like someone coming to the faith for the first time). The solution Peter gave Simon was to repent of his wickedness by way of pray to God so that he might be forgiven. For do you not know that God is not a respecter of persons? Sin breaks fellowship with man.
