The above argument was a summation of the OP's premises and conclusion. If you disagree or have a criticism, let Glitch know.

I have issues with the soundness of the argument as well, but I'm waiting for Glitch to confirm the argument before I offer any advice.

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
