That's not true, we have to repent and believe first, we aren't born in Christ and then we repent. We aren't made to believe and then we repent. We have choice, to believe the gospel or not, and repent or not. I've just posted these verses in another thread
Jesus said
Mark 1
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,*And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel
Luke 13
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.*And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?*I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.*Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?*I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Peter said in Acts 3
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you
So we have a choice, and we have to repent and believe before we receive anything!
The parable of the sower shows this. (Matthew 13)
