Dr. McGee is 100% correct that we are saved by turning to Christ by faith, but he is wrong that repentance follows salvation. This is the same error as Dr. Bob Wilkin teaches. The truth is that repentance facilitates believing. Without repentance no one would ever come to Christ for salvation. Any change in character in a believer's life is a fruit of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and not manmade reformation, mistaken for repentance. God saves a man and then the Holy Spirit changes him. This is the entire message of the Epistle of 1st John. The key verse is 1st John 3:24, “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.”

The evidence that we are saved is the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit, not a changed life. Judas experienced a desire to turn from his sins. Judas' life changed. Judas “repented” the Bible says in Matthew 27:3, but it wasn't true repentance unto salvation. Judas was merely sorry that he got caught betraying an innocent man. Judas felt remorse and guilt. Judas even tried to return the 30 pieces of silver to the scumbag chief priests. Yet, the Bible says that Judas went out and hung himself in overwhelming guilt, not understanding the truth that God was willing to forgive him by faith in Jesus Christ. Judas turned from his sins, but still went to Hell because of his unbelief. Judas trusted in the lie of Lordship Salvation. Judas followed Jesus as his master, but not his Savior.

The big problem with what Dr. McGee is teaching is that it compels people to turn from sins to prove that they are saved, which is not the Gospel. The true Gospel mandates a certain Biblical mindset. The only mindset that the Gospel of free grace allows is that I can be saved, and yet go out and sin all I want and still be saved!
