I don’t think anything you’re imagining here as more efficient for salvation than anything we already have. Even if we all accepted God existed, as Jesus as his son, that he died and rose again, as sort of historic and scientific facts this wouldn’t mean we’re saved. Because no Christian view salvation as a matter of accepting something equivalent to scientific and historic facts about God.



 
Quote: And, by “rational mind”, I mean, a rational mind. Can his actions contradict logic? Can he act irrationally?

I don’t want to be labor the point, or take issues with folks like yourself using words like act, implying a sort of god whose not acting one minute and than acting another minute, doing nothing, that doing something, I.e a negation of god as unchanging.

Since I don’t think for our discussion these distinction are all that relevant, I’ll just say yes, god is logical. Can’t do actions that contradict logic, such a creating a rock so heavy he can’t lift it, and retain omnipotence.
