Oh no,giving repentance is the giving of the entire conversion experience, it comes with faith and new spiritual life as well. Christ causes it all Acts 3:26 26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Even though by nature the elect work iniquity like any other sinner, yet they aren't the workers of iniquity that God hates Ps 5:5 neither are they them which Christ says to them I never knew you Matt 7:23 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work...

He did after God gave him repentance. Repentance is a change of mind, Acts 5:31 31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. No one calls upon the Name of the Lord until they are saved with the Gift of...

It was Gods will that Paul became a believer, Jesus had to save Him from sinful unbelief,then give him faith to believe

The but is because some actually had salvation and some didn't

Gods Elect or Christs Sheep, though they're never the children of the devil, or the children of disobedience, or the workers of iniquity which God hates, yet by nature they have a natural affinity with them, and are considered among them. Thats why Paul says of the elect that by nature they're...

The scripture witnesseth, that the subject of Justification is a sinner, or ungodly person. {Rom.4:5, 5:6,8,10} Now the Holy Ghost never calls believers ungodly or wicked, but calls them saints, faithful, holy brethren, children of God, members of Christ! Rom 4:5 5 But to him that worketh not...

Men are not believers before they are Justified before God, else how can they be said to believe on Him that Justifieth the ungodly ? Rom 4:4-5 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the...

It was two sets of people in the congregation, thats why the but contrast Heb 6:9 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. Again in Heb 10:38-39 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul...

He rejected the Gospel, Jesus saved him nevertheless

Not all of them were actually believers, but professed to believe. The writer made a distinction Heb 6:9 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

I will answer, Yes Paul rejected the Gospel and was a blasphemer, and unbeliever 1 Tim 1 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained...

Not necessarily, there always is tares among the wheat, some are mere professors, stony heart hearers Matt 13:20-21 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a...

I believe you in error in your thinking. God made them vessels of wrath and fits them for destruction.

Sorry God created them to be vessels of wrath and to suffer His vengeance for their sins. Repentance is for them He gives it to when He saves them Acts 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Thats...

The condemnation of sinners came about by the offence of one man Adam Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. That man wasn't a baby, so non elect...

Did Paul when he was saul reject the Gospel ?

Technically He did, He created some men as vessels of wrath to fit them for destruction Rom 9:20-22, He made them to be punished for their sins against Him. They never had a choice or chance to be anything otherwise than vessels of wrath. Hows that ?

Did Paul when he was saul reject the Gospel ? Did he reject Christ and His People ? He heard Stephen preach the Gospel and probably many others, was he forgiven ?

So the answer is absolutely NO the Elect can never be the workers of iniquity spoken of in Ps 5:5 because God doesn't hate the elect but Loves them, even while they're enemies and sinners, Read Rom 5:8 8 But God commendeth his love toward us[the elect], in that, while we were yet sinners...
