Repentance is the Gift Of God !

[justbyfaith]

Yes, aint no ifs with God, if He gives something, its received.

Nope, God is not a mafia boss. He doesn't give you an offer you can't refuse.

He doesn't force His will on anyone: Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a gentleman.

Nope. Even gifts given by God can be rejected.

God is not a mafia boss.

He doesn't give you "an offer you can't refuse".

Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a gentleman.

And this is a very valid comment.

Invalid comment, What God gives is received. Man's choice has nothing to do with it. Did Lazarus have a choice to be raised from the dead? Nope I

Yes it is a invalid comment. God gives repentance and it's received.

Yes it is a invalid comment. God gives repentance and it's received.

Nope. Your comment is invalid.

Did God force you to receive His grace? You didn't choose Him but one day you found yourself suddenly born again through no decision of your own?

God is not a mafia boss: He doesn't give us "an offer that we can't refuse".

And that is a very valid comment.

And so is the comment that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a gentleman.

Yours is invalid, for God gives repentance, and therefore its received. Has nothing to do with mans will or choice or the mafia boss

No, for a man cannot have a gift unless he receives it; and that is a choice made by man.

(see Joshua 24:15, Revelation 3:20, Revelation 22:17, John 1:12)

When God gives a Gift it is received..

Nope. Every man has a choice as to whether or not he will receive the gift of God.

 

[brightfame52]

In light of repentance being of Christ and His Saving prerogative, it's not scriptural to make it a condition for sinners to perform in order to get saved.56c

False, God gives repentance and man receives it, its not the persons choice at all, its Gods choice.

And what is your scriptural basis for saying that?

Also, is placing one's faith in Jesus as a free will choice performing in order to save one's self?

Like Faith, True Repentance is from a Spiritual Source, its the Gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast. Repentance thats towards God can be that which leadeth to Godly sorrow 2 Cor 7:10

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

So this being true, this type of repentance in regards to salvation is from a godly source ! That godly source cant be out from the flesh of sinful man, which I believe can only worketh or lead to death !

Sorry, but Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a gentleman.

So, while repentance is from a godly source, it can be rejected by the one to whom God attempts to give it.

Absolutely false, when God gives it, its received, man has no choice.

It is not false; and what you have said is a lie from the pit of hell.
