It was a deduction from you. It was like me saying, "Therefore, according to your reasoning, you have Christ hating himself," as the scripture says "God hates the world and all that it is in it." (1John 2:15,16; James 4:4). -
As to the points in the OP, "into your heart" is more of an idiom. Like, "take a knee". It doesn't actually mean to take a knee. It means to kneel. " Ask Jesus into your heart " simply means accepting Him into your life. In common vernacular, the heart is iconic for the seat of emotions, and the control of your life. "I love you with all my heart", simply means that you are the most important thing to me.
In the past, the stomach was used the same way, and that carries over some now, like, " gut feeling". In other times, the liver was used. That is still how art critics today critique some art from old eras.
So, I have no problem with the phrase. I don't remember using it myself. I usually say something like, "accept Jesus as your Savior".

"DHK,
from the OP;
. And therein many object. I do not find "into one's heart" as the central point of objection.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
It is actually an evangelical fantasy as the heart attitude of the sinner is revealed through scriptures everywhere....
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words
Receive, Receiving
Resource Toolbox
A — 1: λαμβάνω
(Strong's #2983 — Verb — lambano — lam-ban'-o )
denotes either "to take" or "to receive," (I) literally, (a) without an object, in contrast to asking, e.g., Matthew 7:8; Mark 11:24 , RV, "have received" (the original has no object); (b) in contrast to giving, e.g., Matthew 10:8; Acts 20:35; (c) with objects, whether things, e.g., Mark 10:30; Luke 18:30 , in the best mss. (some have No. 4); John 13:30; Acts 9:19 , RV, "took" (AV, "received"); 1 Corinthians 9:25 , RV, "receive" (AV, "obtain"); or persons, e.g.,
the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God......they are foolishness to him neither can he know them.
the usual make believe vs 13 does not exist....
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
A falsehood ....

First, you seem to have a problem in English comprehension.
Second, you fail to see any quotation marks don't you?
Third, if there is no quotation marks there is no quote.
Fourth, you cannot read my mind as you just stated, which is a lie by you (i.e., "Nope that is not what you meant.") Obviously you don't accept what I meant even after I explained it to you. You just call me a liar instead. You don't want the truth, accept the truth; you would rather deny it.
Now stop being a troll and answer the OP. -

The Spirit moves in a changes their disposition. From hate to love. From enemy to friend. From unbelief to belief. Unless someone believes(present tense), they will never saved. Period. End of story. -

Bro. mwc,
Let me clarify what I meant by confronting your idea of God loving Esau because He is love.
Love is just one attribute God has. Now, if God loves everyone because He is love, then it also rings true that God..
1) has hatred towards everyone
2) pours His wrath out on everyone
3) takes vengence on everyone
4) is jealous with everyone
God is love, and those who love Him have been born of God because He is love. That is the context of 1 John 4:7. He loves them He gave to Christ to redeem. He shows His love to them because He is love.
I am not trying to be mean, please forgive me if I have become harsh/rash with you. I just want you to think you beliefs all the way through. -
