Is recognition of a need to repent to be counted as something? It is a precursor by many standards. I fear Society and the Church has removed that. When the recognition of the need to repent is numbed out, it obviously is not regeneration but peer pressure most likely. But when it comes from within it is from God putting his Law in our hearts and doing something. I believe both are good. We should be thankful both survive when they do.
