Not one that God has as His elect will fail to repent and believe.
That is false doctrine.

I believe that you may have misread that . Gods elect will all be brought to repentance and faith (justification/salvation) . God does not fail.

If you did mean that all the elect will not come i would point this out to you . If looked at from a foreknowledge perspective then you would have to say God's foreknowledge failed. If you look at election as presented in the Bible then God would have chosen the elect and seen to it that what He ordained came to pass or the will and ordination of God are of no effect.

So under either belief it the statement is wrong, you eliminate the omniscience or the ordinances of God

If every one of his elect always (repents) turns away from temptation, then they would not sin.

Temptation is not a sin, even Christ was tempted , there is nothing to repent in temptation, it is not sin unless we have agreement with the temptation.

This fails to consider post salvation sin, which is one the more fundamental aspects of New Testament Scripture. We are not saved by repentence or confession, but by faith alone in Him alone

That is one of the heresies of this age. That one an be saved without repentance or the Lordship of God.

Cvenger can the Holy Spirit indwell a dirty vessel? Or must the wineskin be new?

There is no salvation without repentance. A regenerated man has the indwelling Holy Spirit to convict him of sin and lead him to the truth. It is the function of the Holy Spirit to convict us and lead us to repentance.

Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mar 6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

Luk 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Luk 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Act 3:19 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;

Act 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

Act 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

2Cr 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Faith saves no one, Jesus Christ saves.

We are not saved because we are sinless or worthy , we are saved because Jesus was the propitiation for our sins before they were ever committed. The saved are IN Christ, we have HIS righteousness not our own . We are saved not because of our righteousness but because of His.

D. M. Lloyd-Jones wisely wrote: “Faith is nothing but the instrument of our salvation. Nowhere in Scripture will you find that you are justified because of your faith; nowhere in Scripture will you find that we are justified on account of our faith. The Scripture says that we are justified by faith or through faith. Faith is nothing but the instrument or the channel by which this righteousness of God in Christ becomes ours. It is not faith that saves us. What saves us is the Lord Jesus Christ and His perfect work. It is the death of Christ upon Calvary’s Cross that saves us. It is His perfect life that saves us. It is His appearing on our behalf in the presence of God that saves us. It is God putting Christ’s righteousness to our account that saves us. This is the righteousness that saves; faith is but the channel and the instrument by which His righteousness becomes mine. The righteousness is entirely Christ’s. My faith is not my righteousness and I must never define or think of faith as righteousness. Faith is nothing but that which links us to the Lord Jesus Christ and His righteousness” (Romans: An Exposition of Chapters 3:20-4:25, p. 120).
