Revelation 2:14 mentions Balaam (Numbers 22-24) by name, and Balaam was able to truly prophesy the words of God, but his uncircumcised heart was still set against God’s will (at least as less important than his own will) that he still found a way to spite Israel.
Declaring that Jesus is Lord is a fact. That doesn’t change the command to repent. Even the demons believe (that God is one) and yet they tremble rather than rejoice.
The letters to the churches in Revelation 2-3 even command God’s own people to repent because we still need to overcome and take the advice in 1 Peter 5:8.
I believe there is such a strong message of repentance in all of scripture that it would not profit anybody to overlook.
