Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.".   He also said, in John 6:44, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him."  And Jesus said, in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost."
When we give a wet noodle soft Gospel explanation as part of our own personal testimony, we are trivializing the Gospel.  When we make statements like
"I invited Jesus into my heart," the average lost person does not know what we are talking about. Also, you won’t find any example of a statement like that in the Bible.
We don't invite Jesus into our hearts. God draws us to Himself and offers us salvation. God pursues us first and then we can respond to His invitation or not.
It is one thing to use understandable language and meet the lost person where they are.  It is another thing altogether to trivialize the message of the Gospel.
