Luke 12:10 And everyone who makes a statement or speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit [that is, whoever intentionally comes short of the reverence due the Holy Spirit], it will not be forgiven him [for him there is no forgiveness]. |

Dear Mr. Jones,
Being sorry has NOTHING to do with repentance. Changing your mindset and the direction in which you're headed has EVERYTHING to do with repentance.
One can be truly sorry that they cheated on their spouse, stole money from the till, scarfed away that cookie cooling on the rack, etc. That same person was probably even sorrier the next time they did the deed, and the next, and the next....
Repentance institutes a CHANGE, not only in attitude but in actions. There will never again be a second (or third, or fourth, etc.) time. The mind (or heart, if you prefer to call it that) is changed by an act of the will - this is repentance which leads to salvation. Brought on by the Holy Spirit, convicting the inner man that is now alive in those of us called by God to be walking epistles.
Other deeds will be committed, we are all human, and we're basically "screw-ups", but being sorry for these deeds will accomplish nothing except condemnation. Only a changing of our thinking and behavior will turn us toward the Way and keep us walking in that direction. And we can only do this by the Spirit of our Lord and Master.
