This is more Calvinistic nonsense. Who else but sinners must repent? That is not a "work" as you claim, but a response to the Gospel.
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. (Acts 2:38)
Who do you think did the repenting here in order to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit? Since good works are excluded, Peter would not have said what he did unless it was God who told him to say exactly what he said.
Unless each and every Calvinist has first repented and then believed, or believed and then repented, he or she cannot be saved. One must be converted before receiving the Holy Ghost.
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; (Acts 3:19)
Are you saying you led yourself to repentance?....God had no say....just trying to understand you.
