Repentance is a change of mind, to hate what God hates and to love what He loves. This change of mind leads to a change of behavior. No one wants to do what they hate and they love to do what they love.
Acts 3:19
"Repent, therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out,"
2 Peter 3:9
"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."
Acts 17:30
"The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,"
Those who say they are Christians and remain in their sinful lifestyle even defending it in anger can not possibly be born again.
