This illustrates one of the main flaws with cosmological arguments, they seem to be smuggling in the conclusion in the first premises. Including the version in the OP.

Premise 1 creates 2 sets: one set of all things that begin to exist, and (unstated) all things that do not begin to exist.

If the argument presenter only has one member of the set of all things that don't begin to exist (their god), the argument is circular.

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.
