IRON,
Below is a portion of your opening statement which I have pasted and will keep in black font. I will make my font red!!!
Repentance is an important concept in Scripture, and I think one that we both agree on must be properly understood. YES!! The word "repent" is found 46 (43 TIMES) times in Scripture, "repentance" is found 26 times. The question is "well what exactly does repentance mean?"
In some cases, "repentance" does in fact simply mean a change of mind. In all cases it is a change of mind!! I agree that what a person is changing their mind on differs!! However, it many times means repentance from sin and towards God. As we continue in this conversation, allow me to ask you a question, "is unbelief a sin?" YES!!! JOHN 16:7-9 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;
So then, is repentance of unbelief in fact repentance of sin?

It is actually 46 times. 43 verses, 3 verses with the word twice in the verse.
I Samuel 15:29, 2 Corinthians 7:8 and Revelation 2:5.
These stats are for the KJV.

So then, is repentance of unbelief in fact repentance of sin?
And if unbelief is a sin, is it covered under the blood of the substitutionary atonement of Christ?
Wait, that's another debate.

That would be an interesting debate.

Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
This term here that is translated as "repent" in the KJV means "irrevocable."
Romans 11:29 ἀμεταμέλητος
All other repantance in the KJV μετάνοια
Different word. Here it means the that gifts and calling of God will not be reversed. Has nothing to do with biblical repentance.
