You don't believe much of the Bible do you? You don't believe Paul, you don't believe Isaiah, You don't believe John and now you don't believe that the heart of man is wicked.
Salvation is not imposed on anyone. It is offered to all as a free gift from God.
They who diligently attend to the scriptures, will
find throughout the whole a vein of election and
reprobation. The holy seed may be traced in many
instances, and in divers families, in the Bible, from
Adam to the birth of our Saviour, whose ancestors,
according to the flesh, were of the line of election or
the godly; which those who are only born after the
flesh, and not after the Spirit, namely, the reprobate,
have always despised and persecuted, and will do so
to the end of time—Mason and Ryland.

Jesus gives the gift of the Holy Spirit to those who obey. See John 14:23, and Acts 5:32.

Not every man's heart is wicked. What is God doing searching hearts if all are only wicked anyway?
If you obeyed him you would believe his Gospel.
The spiritual law searches the desires and the intent of the heart and convicts people of sin, Romans 3:19.

You sound like a Calvinist when you insist on only wicked.
You are more Calvinist than not, IMHO.

See God love me so much. (Why I don't know) That he adopted me to be his child. And for that I will be forever great.

Jesus says believe and obey.
Calvinists say I cannot believe and I cannot obey, save me first.
Robert Pate says I can believe but I cannot obey.

This has been discussed ad nauseum, would'nt you agree?
I'm not interested in rehashing it with you.

Just move on then; no need to broadcast it. Everything on this site has been discussed repeatedly. What are you doing on such a site if it makes you sick?
