Did you really mean it with all of your heart

i have struggled with this ..the idea is that id you come to jesus and simply ask him to save you he will ...

but you must mean it with all of your heart or he won't .....

How do you quantify faith and repentance ...? I mean this idea suggests that turning to christ is an ACT that you must do and do correctly ,

Is belief prescriptive or descriptive?
