"Repentance is the Gift Of God !"
No. Repentance is man's response to the Gift of God.
Repentance is the response of man to God's gracious offer of Salvation. Choose this day who you will serve (God or Calvin.)
John
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

It is not up to us to decide whether the word gift applies or doesn't apply to repentance, it is up to us to decide if we want to repent, for the Lord gives us free will. The Lord is eternal, so the Lord knows before we do which way we will decide, but we are free to make that decision.

Sorry, God gives repentance, its an Sovereign administration Heb 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Heb 10:16
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
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.

Yes Israel in the yet future . Laws and statutes? ISRAEL? No one teaching them to ' know the Lord ' . Does any of that sound like salvation today ? All Gentiles have now been granted repentance. Praise God they don't need to become a proselyte today. Every Gentile can come because repentance to life has been granted to them .
18¶When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Acts 11 . Gentiles, so anyone who is a gentile has been granted repentence. Praise God we were granted repentence. Other wise we would still have to become a prosyelte , praise God for breaking down that Middle Wall.
