Repentance is a sacrament


(1) Repentance is a sacrament
In the Orthodox concept, repentance is one of the Church's Seven Sacraments. It is called the Sacrament of Repentance. However, the Protestant groups, in not believing in the Church Sacraments, do not consider repentance a holy Mystery. Therefore, there is a difference between repentance and the Sacrament of Repentance. This difference has its consequences.
