Pricked Heart vs Repentance

Verses revealing salvation requires two parties to act are frequent, one is  Acts 2 36-38 where the debate is often over whether baptism is a work, yet no one wants to examine repentance as a work of man.

It is obvious God doesn't repent for you.

In Acts 2:38 they were already pricked in the heart when they were told to repent, thus repentance isn't solely a change of heart or a pricked heart, that had already occured, but repentance is a conscious change of direction concerning activity.In Acts 2:38 you fulfill repentance by being baptized. Many want to separate them but baptism is a command of Christ and repentance is the change to willful obedience vs past disobedience.

The word "and" in greek can conjuct two different thoughts as co-equals, or it can conjunct two thoughts where one flows from the other.

repent and be baptized is baptism flowing from repentance. As in 

Matt 3:11 "I baptize you with water for repentance

Luk 3:3  And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 

Christian baptism is a baptism of repentance as was John's, the difference being repentance to the law vs repentance to Christ and the New Covenant. Repentance to John would be fulfilled more when Jesus taught the people, they were to believe on him who was to come.

Thus, baptism is the fulfillment of repentance in its initial stages, it is followed by a change of the entire life as one matures and gives his life to follow the covenant he is under..

Thus, repentance is a willful change to obedience towards the Lordship of Christ, thus it involves man's work and activity.

Why dismiss baptism as a work but not repentance, both are works, and as expressed earlier baptism fulfills repentance in its initial stages. Some parts of salvation are acts of God, while others are clearly from man by God's command. Repentance is an act of obedience.

pricked  hearts (an act of God through the word)

repentance ( an act of man.)

Repentance flows from a pricked heart just as Christ taught evil acts proceed from an evil heart. The issues of life start in the heart but must be played out through actions, whether good or bad.

Rom 6:16  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 

The heart lives out its affection through our lives, we will be judged by our lives.

Wisdom isn't fulfilled in belief only.

Pro_14:15  The guileless believe every word; but the astute one comes to repentance. 

Belief alone isn't enough, it requires action. Belief alone does not fulfill Acts 2:38.

Evangelicals have dismissed baptism because it is an act of man, but not repentance which is equally an act of man.

Hypocrites you might say? Yes, because their choice to put forth their theory is willfully designed to dismiss parts of scripture.

Also we see the subjects were to be saved after repentance and not at a pricked heart. 

Acts 2 - repent and be baptized for the remission of sins. 

Acts 3 - repent and be converted that your sins may be blotted out.

Acts 11 - God has granted repentance unto life.

Yes evangelicals teach they were saved before baptism, and by implication also teach they were saved before repentance. 

Even if a verse just says repent it doesn't dismiss baptism, because baptism is an act of repentance done in the light of past disobedience. Repentance automatically infers obedience to whatever commands Christ gave.

Also, in Acts 2:38 evangelicals say "for the remission of sins" actually means because sins are already forgiven, thus forgiveness would logically occurr before repentance in their view, but in Acts 3 it says our sins being blotted out occurs after repentance.

They are inconsistent.

for the remission of sins Acts 2:38

that your sins may be blotted out Acts 3:19

are the same thought.

One cannot occur before repentance in Acts 2 and after repentance in Acts 3.
