I ain't no preacher, but tried to prove a point

Pride. Pride is the foundation of almost everyone's being saved. They look at your way of presentation, whether it is gentle, kind, non judging or blatant rude insulting condemning, they still refuse to quit fruit inspecting and understand that all that is required of us to be saved is trust. But even that is too simple for them. Trust eliminates pride! How can you trust the bloodshed of Christ and yourself too lol. It's one or the other. If I was jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet I wouldn't try to flap my arms hoping for a safe fall, I would rather trust my parachute. But the topic means nothing to them because they don't want it. They only want to look for flaws, they look for the outward appearance rather than the meat of the matter. This is really sad. And it's the same reason most people follow the most polished up best looking and sounding people, even though they spew lies. Man has overcomplicated salvation. But, man has always been an expert at making things difficult.
