I basically agree - although we surely experience humility & unworthiness there also is a zeal and true seeking after rightousness - most of us would probably agree that elements of both repentance & obedience are present in the Born Again beliver throughout the lifetime - as long as the initial regeneration is there (which is most vital), every true believer's Christian experience is different, although most of the marks are consistent in varying degrees - this is my understanding.

The mercy of God is necessary not only when a person repents, but even to lead him to repent, Augustine
