No. God alone GIVES repentance, which repentance, is manifested in a coming to belief in Christ as Savior, instead of in dead works. A spiritually dead person, (which all were until saved), cannot give repentance to themselves: those to whom it is given cannot reject it; those to whom it is not...

I would suggest that our faith does not/cannot save us. The faith that saves is Christ's faith. He was perfectly faithful to the Father in His mission as the Savior - by perfect faith residing within Him. One of Christ's names is Faithful and True. If our faith were a requirement for our...

Correct. Otherwise, it would be by works, in which case, no one would/could be saved.

I understand your question and at a certain point had the same one myself. However, based upon these verses, the question pretty much settled itself in my mind - that for those so chosen by God, it would be impossible to fall away through apostacy or for any other reason given that God Himself...

So, since salvation was/is given solely and freely by Him as the God/Savior, once given, it cannot be lost by man.

I see what @Rufus means about not getting a straight answer from you. Do you believe Jesus is the Savior or not? Yes, or no, please

So, you agree that Jesus saves apart from the actions of man - that based solely upon His good pleasure? And if saved by God apart from man's actions, then neither it can't be lost by man's actions?

So then you ARE saying that don't believe Jesus Christ is the Savior? Or is it that you just can't comprehend that a Savior alone saves?

So, by that, you are saying it is up to man to do something to be saved, correct? - that man must contribute his part to the salvation transaction, and if not, then no salvation - not by Christ alone - thus making man part savior too. My explanations do match scripture because I am saying there...

The crux of your error is that in spite of all the Bible tells us about Him - even given all of that - yet you remain spiritually ignorant, unable to acknowledge Christ (alone) as the Savior - He being the one who saves - along with all that accompanies that, but instead believe man is somehow...

No, He doesn't. For those sinners that He desires to have repent, repentance is given unto them as a gift. It manifests as a trust in Christ as Savior. It is God's work, not man's, as the verses I previously posted demonstrate. Everything accompanying salvation, repentance included, are the...

No, it has everything to do with the covenants. It is according to the respective covenant that men either live or die eternally. The covenants are the revelation of "how God is". [Eze 20:24-25 KJV] 24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted...

God is the same, but His covenants aren't- and most assuredly - there are two different covenants. God, as a part of His New Covenant, gives repentance as a free gift (a full belief/trust/faith in Jesus as the Savior, leaving behind our trust in our dead works), but only to those whom He places...

Amen

Because they were stipulated under the auspices of two completely different covenants: the Old Covenant as opposed to the New Covenant. The Old Covenant was earthly and dependent upon a person's actions and choices; the New Covenant is eternal, based solely upon God, His actions and His choices...

Not disagreeing with God, disagreeing with you and your interpretation. Guess that means you are not aware of the two totally different and independent covenants each was associated to. Doesn't say much for your biblical knowledge or understanding. You'll do a lot better when (and if) you are...

No, only those chosen by God unto salvation. [2Th 2:13 KJV] 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: The term "us-ward" (v9)...

Just to be clear, the law in view is the law of Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, not OT law - it is Law unto liberty and life, not death. You've omitted verses that complete the doctrine: [Heb 10:14, 16-18 KJV] 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on...

There is only one gospel that can be preached: Christ; however, until becoming saved, no one can comprehend it as such.

Not to preach about the law, but of it being fulfilled by Christ. And you do not understand the power and significance of Christ as The Savior
