VIII. Of Repentance and Faith ᎣᏓᏅᏙ ᎦᏁᏟᏴᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎣᏬᎯᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ
We believe that repentance and faith are sacred duties and also inseparable graces,
wrought in our souls by the regenerating Spirit of God; whereby being deeply convinced
of our guilt, danger and helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to
God with unfeigned contrition, confession and supplication for mercy; at the same time
heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as our Prophet, Priest and King, and relying on
him alone as the only and all-sufficient Saviour
