According to many Christians that is the case, but not all. In New Church doctrine repentance means to turn away from sin and not return to it. There are no 'magic words' and its more than just feeling regret full. Your whole being must change such that sin becomes aborant to you. What I meant earlier is that there are three degrees of repentance: a permanent change of heart, renewal of the mind, and manifest action.
