So then we are back to ALL Jews and Gentiles being saved then according to your logic? Anyone reading should plainly read ' Jews ' ....' Gentiles ' . There is no ' some ' Jews or ' some Gentiles . There is no hint at this in the text or around the text . The whole point of the book is the transition from Jew to ' the body '
Repentance is definitely a result of a new heart in the believer. It's a free gift from God, even though its a gift I'm still responsible. If God had never granted it to me it would never of happened. And whats more amazing about this is that those who repent are in the one body, the one church - Jews and gentiles alike all in Christ.
--- and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:15)
--- Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)
And just to show this is one message, one gospel for all here is Paul He taught the same things as Jesus.
---- They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. He witnessed to them from morning till evening, explaining about the kingdom of God, and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets he tried to persuade them about Jesus.
---- “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again.
Mark 1.15 can't possibly be referring what we believe today . The gospel had not happened until mathew 27 .

How is it we can understand what were saying , but with God s word all of a sudden its cryptic?
I had my eyes opened when i dropped all the nonsense teaching id absorbed from Calvinism/ Arminianism/ every other ism .
Every calvinist is confused. There commonly saved by the Gospel, then they re write their experiences in light of this new doctrine they stumble upon . Then they become an avatar for the system and ideologically possessed. " John 6 " " Draw " Elect " , " chosen " , given " , pieces of eight " Scraww scraww!!
God tells us in His Word that the wicked have the capability of turning from their evil ways:
Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die ...
If it meant some , it would say some. God can have is word made clear. He really can and did . I believe we have clarity, not riddles and cryptic messages.
I'm pleased you recognise it doesn't say ' some ' , when it could have easily done so . There is no excuse for it to not say ' some '
Your presupposition is ' Regeneration precedes faith ' what you are now immune to is seeing the bible in any other light . This is why the bible warns not to be taken captive by philosophy ect. It colours the way you approach scripture.
