Again .
29¶Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30The God of OUR FATHERS raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to ISRAEL , and forgiveness of sins.
32And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Everytime ,without fail its scripture v your beliefs.

In your mind your thinking ' causes them to repent and believe. ' Your forcing the doctrine ' regeneration precedes faith ' onto the text . No where does it says this . No where does it say God exclusively gives individuals causative ' sprinkles '. God grants the Gentiles to the party ,so to speak . The invitation is out . They are invited .
Hebrews 12:17
“For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.”
Was not granted to him . He sought it .
Israel and Gentiles can find it . It is granted to them
All without distinction can repent and be recieved .

Thats what it means, the giving is a causation Ezk 36:26-27
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

You need a' exclusive ' verse to back up your doctrine. You don't have one . No verse says its withheld from some . No verse says the very thing you believe . No verse says its withheld from some. Or ' only some can have or will have ' nothing of the sort . You deriving it from the idea then you think this is the proof text for it.
Really, now? So you have earned and deserve the gifts God freely gives? Yet you do not receive them???
In other words, what I said stands. You are mistaken to say it is in error.
Or just flat out wrong
