Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

So, for you, what would falsify your Christian beliefs?

If you believe they are falsifiable, you must have something in mind that would falsify them.

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.
