My scriptures I have been sharing with you are my responses, and again you are in unbelief.

Not confident in your answer?
Acts 2:38-39, “And Kĕpha said to them, “Repent, and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of יהושע Messiah for the forgiveness of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit. “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, as many as יהוה our Elohim shall call.”

Peter was speaking to Justified, quickened jews at that time. However God was going to call Justified, quickened gentiles like Cornelius Acts 10
reneweddaybyday response in Post 3945:
brightfame52, if they were already "Justified, quickened jews", there would be no need for them to repent ... for the forgiveness of sins.
brightfame52 ... aren't you the one who holds to the erroneous dogma that the sins of the "elect" are "never charged to them" and that the "elect" are "Justified ... before they are born"???
Hence not one charge of sin can be charged to any sinner Christ died for
Christs death alone Justified unto life them He died for, before they are born
fyi ... Acts 2 is a record of the initial outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost ... which was 10 days after the ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ into heaven. Just before He ascended into Heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ commanded His disciples that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father (Acts 1:1-5). The promise of the Father spoken of in Acts 1 is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit we read about in Acts 2.
In Acts 2:5 we see that there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. They were in Jerusalem because the feast of weeks (Pentecost) was a feast in which all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose (Deut 16:16).
Peter preached on Day of Pentecost and he spoke about fulfillment of prophecy ... that the Lord Jesus Christ, Who had been crucified 50 days prior, had been resurrected from the dead ... that He is the promised Messiah ... that the Lord Jesus Christ being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear (Acts 2:33).
The response of the hearers:
Acts 2:37 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?
The words "they were pricked" are translated from the Greek word katanýssō which means pierce all the way down, i.e. deeply (thoroughly) pained; "emotionally pierced through"; psychologically pricked, emotionally stunned.
All who heard Peter's sermon were affected by what they heard and they asked what shall we do.
Acts 2:38-40 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. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Now read Acts 2:41
Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Of all who heard Peter's sermon, only those that gladly received his word were baptized.
Those who suppressed the truth in unrighteousness (Rom 1:18) were unrepentant ... they were not baptized ... they were not Justified ... even though the promise is unto you, and to your children (Acts 2:39).

Unbelief
... which is your typical response when someone responds to your erroneous dogma with the truth of Scripture.
and it was at this point that I pointed out your poor debate tactics in using ad hominem attacks rather than engaging in meaningful discussion.
Your ad hominem attacks are your standard MO when I or anyone else tests your dogma by submitting Scripture to which your erroneous dogma does not align.
You are to align your dogma to Scripture and where you are in error, let go of the error. I have explained this to you many, many times.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
