The meaning of the Word �repent� depends on the placement of the word in the context of the body of scripture. Words have Specific meanings in the HEBREW and many different meanings in the Greek. A Word in Hebrew can tell intire Story and is much more difficult to interpret and understand but not impossible. In fact�it is a flourishing language again in the Middle East�Amazing how GOD does that�
Example - In Exo 13:17
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent [H5162] when they see war, and they return to Egypt:

*** New Testament � Greek�
In Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent [G3340] ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
G3340 � metanoeo
1.to change one's mind, i.e. to repent
2.to change one's mind for better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one's past sins
"Repentance (metanoia, 'change of mind') involves a turning with contrition from sin to God; the repentant sinner is in the proper condition to accept the divine forgiveness." (F. F. Bruce. The Acts of the Apostles [Greek Text Commentary], London: Tyndale, 1952, p. 97.)
*** So Repentance isn�t ALL Greek�and it is best to return the beginning in all study...Hebrew...moving into Greek and then Aramaic/Arabic...
*** As for the ??? of is Repentance of Sin necessary to be saved ???...I can tell yall yes or no and it would make no differance to anyone but you...Do the research and study and you shall find the True answer and let no man/one deter you from that Truth for it is HIS Truth that matters and no one elses...xo

Great. Now I just need your definitions for sin, faith and salvation in the context of your point here.
And for the record, the word repent was used by the Roman army for the command our military calls an about face. The British army uses this command still.
Furthermore, had you read my answer the way I wrote it you would have understood that I ws speaking of a change of mind when I said we change what we believe. Get your agenda out of the way and pay attention to what is being said to you.
