I'm going to share a few scriptures on repentance. 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.
Acts 11:18
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 20:21
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
The greek word for repentance in these verses is metanoia and means:
change of mind, repentance
Usage: repentance, a change of mind, change in the inner man.
Notice also in Acts 5 and Acts 11 the God is said to give or grant this repentance. This repentance towards God is something man doesn't have naturally, it must be furnished by God. Its Gods Gift to His Chosen People.
Repentance is something that the man must do as God does not do it for them. God does not just hear the words, He also looks at the heart. Anyone who has a sincere desire to come to Jesus Christ for forgiveness will be saved.
To that we can see in Act 17:30 "Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands
all people everywhere to repent."
Why would God call “all people everywhere” to “repent” if most are not "His Chosen People" and have no ability to do so? Are you saying that God is disingenuous?
"{Repentance} refers to a change of mind and purpose that turns an individual from sin to God. Such change involves more than fearing the consequences of God's judgment. Genuine repentance knows that the evil of sin must be forsaken and the person and work of Christ totally and singularly embraced."
J. MacArthur
God grants/accepts the repentance of those that truly do so but as we know many will not truly repent of their sins.
We see this in Act 5:31 that while all Israel was granted the possibility of repentance and forgiveness of sins not all of Israel turned to Christ in faith did they.
Then in Act 11:18 we see the house of Cornelius where the Jews that were with Peter, seeing that the Holy Spirit had fallen on the Gentiles, had their objections put to rest and saw that God granted/accepted repentance of the Gentiles also.
Then we have Paul in Act 20:21 "testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ."
God does not make people repent or repent for them but will grant/accept true repentance. That is why Peter said in Act 2:38 "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
BF you have to start trusting the whole word of God if you want to come to a correct understanding of His word. That is why I keep pointing out your errors of cherry picking out of context verses.
