In all seriousness, nothing can happen until God allows it. Faith cannot happen before God interviens in your life.
Concider this: Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Faith cannot come UNTIL you hear the word. This ONLY happens when God puts someone there for you to hear from. So it all comes from God, and not of yourself.

On this we can agree, however, it still does not remove the responsibility of the sinner to obey god and believe the gospel as John states in the following scripture:
John 3:15 (Whole Chapter)
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (Whole Chapter)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
It is ours to accept or reject...
