Yes.
Mark 1:15
"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"
Acts 19:4
Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus."
To Believe in what Jesus Christ did for you on the cross- that he rose and died again, so you could have forgiveness through Him- and to repent of your sin- turn away from it- and Trust Him- then He calls us to be baptized. -our outward expression of faith and repentence.

Yes. We are saved by grace through faith. We do not continue to sin so that grace will abound. It's all about the motivation behind what we do as children of GOD. We will not instantly stop sinning. We will never stop sinning. But we will repent and turn from our sins when we see them.
If you have no desire to serve GOD here on earth then why would you want to serve him for eternity?

That's pretty much the formula, yes.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

If you believe the fear mongering quarter wit Christian religion, they say so.
From a realists point of view and logically thinking, there is no heaven, and no hell. Christianity is nothing but a business for the leaders to make money, and to try to control the masses. Gullible people fall for it.

If you are a believer you will know that Hell has been defined as the absence of God in Heaven. Unrepentant sinners cannot be allowed into Heaven therefore you assign yourself to Hell.

If you believe in Jesus Christ, repent your sins, and ask for forgiveness, you will be saved.

You need to repent (to be truly sorry that you have done them) and to turn to God (to do what He has for you).

No, hell is imaginary. Instead of "repenting of sins", apologize to anyone you may have hurt. If no one was hurt, don't worry about it.

guilt is a useless emotion. it keeps you stuck in the pain. if you have done something that you know has hurt others and in turn it is hurting you, it makes sense to release yourself from that- to forgive yourself and to wish good things for others. and to begin to make better choices.
