One can experience the deepest possible remorse over sin and not repent. Both Esau and Judas demonstrate this. Indeed, we must all learn to distinquish between the sorrow that comes from being caught and the sorrow that comes from a deep, inward hatred of sin and longing for the glory of God that is the distinquishing feature of a regenerate person.
Richard Owens Roberts, Repentance: The First Word of the Gospel p. 86.
