We do not get saved for sinning boldly and believing, but by repentance -- metanoia, i.e. changing our mind

I believe Luther would say that it is God who brings us to the point of repentance.

And we do what? According to your teaching, then, God has not only brought us to the point of repentance, but into sin as well!
