Do I Have To Repent To Be Saved?

This question is at the very heart of the salvation experience, and yet it's met with great argument among the different Christian denominations and doctrines.

In this lecture Pastor Joseph Cortes examines the etymological (origin of words) roots of the word "repent". In the Greek (the written language of the New Testament) the word being translated is "Metanoia".

Does Metanoia mean what the English dictionary defines as repent, "To turn away from sin" or does it have a different meaning that has been hijacked by a mistranslation? If so, your very salvation may be based on false doctrine. Find out now.
