"realize you're a sinner, repent, and ask Jesus to come into your heart "

It appears nobdysfool is the type of guy who would hang around a strip joint, getting his glands all excited, realize he was sinning in the flesh and then stand in the doorway and invite God to 'Come on in! Have a good time along with us!'

Inviting Christ into one's heart is blasphemy. Returning to God, repenting (turning away from ) sin, allowing the Holy Spirit to find something worthy or righteousness, namely faith thereby allows His indwelling which provides a Shekinah Glory for the indwelling of Christ.

If somebody desires to be indwelt by Christ, all they need do is return to Him so He may return to them. Not the other way around of inviting Him into our depraved hearts.

If you're going to mention my name, at least have the cajones to ping me to the post.

What a liar you are, Cvengr! What a slanderer you are, impuning my character in such a fashion! You have stepped over the line here. There is no possible way anything I have ever written or said on this or any other forum could be interpreted as support for the veiled accusation you make against me, in the form of an "illustration". I challenge you to find such posts by me. You have constantly thrown subtle little digs at me, implying that my motives and understanding were less than pure, that I am, in your estimation, "out of fellowship" with God. I call others to witness that this is so.

I do not want my name associated with such insinuations, even as illustrations. An apology is in order here.

How can one "return to God" if he was never His in the first place? We're talking about the unsaved, here, Cvengr. Do try to keep up. Allowing the Holy Spirit to find something worthy or righteous in an unregenerate man? In an unregenerate man? In an UNREGENERATE MAN??? Are you serious? There is nothing, NOT ONE THING, of any value or worth, or possessing any righteousness whatsoever in the heart of an unregenerate man. He is depraved, he is a filthy sinner, completely bereft of anything acceptable to God! Even the faith which an unregenerate man possess is not acceptable to God, defiled and tainted as it is by the man's unregenerate nature and condition. Your statement is ludicrous, and a clearly not biblical.

You really do need to learn a few things, Cvengr. You aren't even making sense.
