that is answered in my post above yours...
Repentance is not a change of mind. Repentance is turning from sin, of course turning from sin does include a change of mind about the sin a person is doing.
From Grace Evangelical Society:
What Is Repentance?
The meaning of words is determined by examining their usage. Thus to determine the meaning of repentance, we need to look at the fifty-five NT uses of the words repent and repentance. Having done that, I have chosen three passages that clearly illustrate its meaning in all of its uses.
Jesus said to a Jewish audience, “The men of Ninevah will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here” (Matt 12:41).
Jesus was here rebuking the people of Israel, most of whom failed to repent even at the preaching of the Son of God! The men of Ninevah repented centuries earlier under the preaching of a much lesser prophet than Jesus. Jonah was a reluctant prophet. He didn’t want the Ninevites to repent.
What the Lord Jesus means by repentance here is evident when we look at the repentance of the Ninevites in Jonah Chapter 3. In response to Jonah’s proclamation of coming judgment, all of the people of Ninevah fasted and put on sackcloth (Jonah 3:5) and “turned from their evil way” (Jonah 3:10). The repentance of the Ninevites was not faith in Christ and it was not a necessary precursor to faith in Christ. They decided to turn from their sins because they hoped to escape the destruction of their city and the widespread loss of lives that Jonah had proclaimed (“who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?”-Jonah 3:9).
The apostle John wrote prophetically about what will happen in the coming Tribulation: “And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts” (Rev 9:21). Once again, repentance is not faith in Christ or a necessary precursor to that, but it is a decision to turn from one’s sinful ways, which the people in question did not do in spite of the terrible Tribulation judgments that they were experiencing from God.
Jesus taught the apostles about repentance when He said, “If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him” (Luke 17:4). Again, repentance here is neither faith in Christ, nor a necessary precursor to faith in Christ. It is a decision to turn from one’s sins.
All fifty-five NT references to repentance bear this out. In each case repentance is a decision to turn from one’s sins. It is never a synonym for faith in Christ or a necessary precursor to faith.
