If repentance isn’t required, why did Jesus warn of perishing?
The Bible never says a prayer replaces a changed life.
“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” — Luke 13:3
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” — Matthew 7:21
If this makes you uncomfortable, argue with Scripture — not the messenger.
