You must have missed a few passages then.

Here's a couple:

Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Perish means to go to hell - these were people who were lost and on their way to hell.

Acts 2:37-38 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Hm, they were wondering how to be saved - that tells me they were lost, as the passage indicates.

Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

God wants all mankind to repent.

Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

God wants the Gentiles to repent and turn to God - ie. they were not saved yet.

There are many others.
