Funny that - because when Christians attempt to sell their religion to me its often on the basis of an insurance policy. Actually its wording is often so similar to the Pascal Wager it is uncanny.
Believe in Jesus - go to heaven, reject Jesus and hell awaits, so believing is the sensible thing to do.
Any Christian who tries to sale Christianity is selling themselves short with God, God desires those who will love Him. Most people do not love insurance salesman. Christians need to show that they are glad to be Christians and live the peace of God.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
