Right after some people had declared that Nephi was a prophet and done even claimed he was a god he was rejected by everyone when he declared that they should repent. It is likely that there were some individuals who accepted his call to repent but also likely that there were those who had declared him a prophet or god and then rejected his call to repent. Perhaps they had been flattering him hoping that he would become popular and that they could gain something from his popularity. Others might have been amazed at the way he revealed the murderer of the chief judge but then had no desire to hear him tell them they needed to repent.
