Ta-dah! See fellows, it wasn't really that hard after all, now was it? Yes repentance does pave the way for blessing and a fresh outpouring of the Spirit. The Bible tells us this. History shows us this. The Bible and history also tell us that there is a limit to God's grace, mercy and patience. "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh" (Gen 6:3) If you don't want to take Jane or John's admonitions (no penalty for that I guess) I would beg you not to ignore God's admonitions. I don't think Bushnell, Jane or anyone else that I'm aware of has ever said "repentance" is a lemon translation.

...just some food (hopefully grapes) for thought.
