I thinks it all one work. We who have the mind of Christ know who does the turning so that we can in turn change our minds. Two turnings. One work. . not of ourselves.
Jeremiah 31:18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God. (the one with the power) Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.(feel sorry)

No your equating recieving Jesus ( john 1 .12 ) is on the basis of ' being sorry for your sins ' . its through Faith , not through penance or turning from sins or ' stop sinning ' . Thats a false Gospel . ' Through faith ' is not ' repent from sins '
1 cor 15 . 1-4 / Rom 10 ,9 / eph 2.8amd 9 / Rom 1.16 . and 1 cor 1.21 .
/ eph 1.13-14 are more than adequate to explain how we are saved .

Since all men are natural by birth they all must choose. Gods gives light for men to choose. Those who deny the light remain in darkness. You would know this if you had a biblical salvation experience, not one created by your natural mind.
John 3:19-20 They chose darkness because their deeds were evil and wanted to avoid reproof.
They chose between the only two options that man faces.
For the cause of Christ

Seems rather petulant to deny the need for repentance, and even more so to deny the need for seeking to make recompense for your sin. While the latter may not be "necessary" for salvation how can you claim to love Jesus if you do not seek to emulate Him? Going even beyond responsibility for your own sin, but seeking to help others with their burdens. This whole trend of "I don't have to!" is rather sad especially coming from people who claim to know God. Be holy, for He is holy.

@presidente I believe he is talking about the Holy Spirit working in them.in the believer.
God brings us to repentance,we don’t bring ourselves.
