When God grants man repentance, this does not mean he coerces a man to repent forcefully.

No, and none of us has asserted any such thing. Rather, God causes the man's will to be repentant. So the man repents of his own will, yet this repentant will is given him by God.

It is true that when a sinner is exposed to the gospel they are convicted in their spirit.But this is not the same as saying they fully repent. The human will must submit to God in this conviction for true repentance to occur.

So you believe that God may grant conviction, but not repentance?

In King Agrippa's case he was touched, but not repentant. Many people when exposed to the gospel react in the same way as King Agrippa. As Jesus told the hardened pharisees of his day, "you will not come to me that you may have life." John 5:39-40. Not that they could not.

Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me. But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one" (John 10:25–30).

King Agrippa did not believe because he was not one of the sheep whom the Father had given to the Son.
