So again, it is either impotent or non-existent.Everyone is convinced of God's existence*; not everyone accepts God's authority which is the exercise of their God given 'free-will'.

*Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Why should we accept that the Bible is authoritative, or even reflects reality?
Remember, the Bible is not evidence, it is the claim.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
