I totally agree. I know a lot of people who reject Jesus, I understand that it is their free will and that repentance and faith in Christ are God given gifts. Is it wrong to keep praying that this rejection will turn into acceptance?

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me, will come to me, and all that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Repentance is faith. It is to go from unbelief to belief. Romans 11:29 For the GIFTS, eternal life, and the calling of God, John 12:32, are without repentance. Irrevocable. Can not be change back. The second we trust Jesus alone apart from works we are given the seal of the Holy Spirit of promise.
Ephesians 1:13-14 Our guarantee of eternal life. John 6:47. Romans 3:26-28. You can not boast in free. Romans 4:5 Justified by faith alone in Jesus one blood sacrifice for all our sin debt. Paid in full. No longer condemned. John 3:18. John 6:40 is the will of God for the free gift of eternal life by faith alone. Romans 11:6
