Either way, if God is not granting him all that peace and joy you claim he could, even though he has sought him, there are only 2 explanations: A) God is withholding that relief, B) or God doesn’t exist.
And of course the church changes its rules anytime it wishes,,,

You partly perceive a necessity in the situation. God sometimes says “wait.” Quite often entry into salvation will be accompanied by a very tangible burst of God-directed joy. That makes sense, because there has to be something to say yes to. But what may follow (and did follow in my own case) is not intense bliss ever after on earth, but a rough road where it raises the question whether that encounter was for naught, while God is watching the person show proof that he believed by pursuing a repeat encounter. So yes God can withhold, but if the sincerity is there, the withholding will only be temporary.
