[edit | edit source]Matthew 9:2
And, behold! They were bringing a paralytic lying on a cot to Him. And seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, Be comforted, child. Your sins have been forgiven you.
Note that the paralytic’s sins were forgiven without a formal repentance prayer, just by faith.
Comment, whether you think that repentance prayer is necessary for salvation.
