All of a sudden the Calvinist's are tongue-tied (or keyboard-locked). Not one can or is willing to answer these simple questions.

You can answer in any way you wish. I put no restrictions on the manner of your answer, as some do.

Is it possible to be saved without repentance and faith? Do you also consider faith, work? How about repentance?

You act as if those questions have never been answered here on these FR threads ad infinitum. Look them up in the archives if you're reeeeally interested in the answers.

Faith and repentance are gifts of God.

Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

Faith does not save Hank..Faith in Jesus Christ saves...and that is saving faith a gift of God..It is generated not by carnal man but by the spirit of God.

1Cr 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Sola Gracia ....Sola Fide

"Repentance and faith" are the natural activities of one who has been born again, just as breathing is the natural activity of one who is physically alive.

When one is "born from above", he naturally does those things that regenerate folk do. He practices repentance and faith.

Your point?
