Repent = Metanoia ~ Meta (change) - [of the] - Noia (Mind)
A man who believes - has repented. He has changed his mind and now believes on Jesus - when he didn't before. We all must change or alter our mind to see this.
A man who repents (in a biblical context concerning salvation) is a man who comes to a rational realization that he needs to believe in something or someone. That being- believing in Christ and the Gospel in general.
However, the Bible also does certainly speak of repenting of sin and mindsets, etc.. A Christian will likely repent of many things in their life. You repented of smoking ci******es etc.. Even God repented in scripture - it says it plainly! God changed his mind.
