After all if everyone had their hearts equally prepared by the Spirit, why on earth doesn't anyone receive the truth???

The Wesleyan/Arminian view of prevenient grace isn't everyone getting their hearts equally prepared but rather having the effects of the fall reversed to the point that their free will is restored. (see my reply to Joe K)

This isn't an inclination toward God but rather a restoration to a neutral state. The thing is I can't see anything in scripture that states we were ever in a neutral state.


Peter

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
