2 Timothy 2:25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that **GOD WILL GRANT THEM **REPENTANSE** LEADING THEM TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH**!
Romans 2:4: Do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, forbearance and patience no realizing that **GOD'S KINDNESS IS INTENDED TO LEADYOU TO **REPENTANCE**!
Quiznos, I may be wasting my time with you as you are not obviously familiar with what the Bible clearly says is needed for salvation to even take place. First comes repentance (to be sorry [also Strong's H5162!] for sinning and that is NOT works dude!), to regret sinning, a reversal from continual sinning, THEN salvation comes as a FREE gift!
Quoting Quiznos - "You believe Repentance ( of sin ) is necessary for salvation." end quote.
Now I know you stated long ago that the Bible is NOT YHWH's WORD - (Yah'shua the Son) but only the words of men (meaning sinful?), so I doubt you would consider Paul's letter to the Corinthians but I'm going to take the risk of "casting my pearls before swine" I guess and post anyway!
2 Corinthians 7:9,10 (NIV) "And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your >>>sorrow led you to repentance.<<< For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us."
10. "Godly sorrow brings >>>repentance that leads to salvation<<< without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
So you can clearly see repentance comes BEFORE the free gift of salvation!
**SALVATION IS 100% FREE WHILE ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS ARE 100% EARNED**!!
**SALVATION IS 100% FREE*WHICH INCLUDES THE FREE GIFT OF REPENTANCE**!!
2 Timothy 2:25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that *GOD WILL GRANT THEM **REPENTANCE** LEADING THEM TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH**!
Romans 2:4: Do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, forbearance and patience no realizing that **GOD'S KINDNESS IS INTENDED TO LEAD YOU TO **REPENTANCE**!*
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.

John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**—and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**—not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
Romans 12:3: For by the **GRACE GIVEN ME** I say to every one of you. Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourselves with sober judgment, in accordance with the **FAITH GOD HAS DISTRIBUTED TO EACH OF YOU**... We have different gifts, according to the **GRACE GIVEN TO EACH OF US**!!
Romans 9:15,16,18: God says, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy...Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden. {But God's saints still preach God's Word to everyone}
John 15:16: Jesus says, You did not choose Me, but I **CHOSE YOU**and appointed you so that you might bear **FRUIT**--**FRUIT** that will last!!

In Him we were also **CHOSEN**, having been **PREDESTINED** in accordance to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity to the purpose of His will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be to the **PRAISE OF HIS GLORY**!!

Romans 6:23: The wages of sin is death, but the **GIFT OF GOD** is **ETERNAL LIFE**!
God's Word clearly teaches that faith, salvation, the Holy Spirit and eternal life are all 100 percent **FREE GIFTS OF GOD** and that the two main incentives for doing good works is being thankful to God for these amazing **FREE GIFTS** and to **EARN HEAVENLY ETERNAL REWARDS** which God has promised His chosen saints for faithful and loving service. Whereas those who believe in **SINLESS PERFECTION** believe that we have to earn our salvation and eternal life by doing **GOOD WORKS** and being **SINLESS** and that the only eternal reward is gaining eternal life by what we do; and if we commit even one small sin after we are saved we will loose our salvation and eternal life. And so man and not God becomes the Author and Finisher of our salvation.
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
**AND SO SALVATION IS 100 PERCENT **FREE** but **ETERNAL REWARDS** are 100 percent **EARNED**!!
Ephesians 6:8: Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will **REWARD** everyone for what ever good he does!

1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his **REWARD**. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
How to Win Heavenly CROWNS:
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be **REWARDED** fully!.

Matthew 19:29: Jesus says, "Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children **FOR MY SAKE** will receive a **HUNDRED TIMES AS MUCH** and will inherit eternal life!!"
end quote.
so I doubt you would consider Paul's letter to the Corinthians but I'm going to take the risk of "casting my pearls before swine" I guess and post anyway!
