Do you believe that GOD WILL HAVE ALL MEN SAVED????
No. But I do not believe that He would not want all men to turn to him. Obviously, He could save everyone if He so willed. He knows that we can do nothing to save ourselves. Don't you think that just maybe the outward call is heard, the heart hears the call; and by free will, the brain asks Christ for forgiveness and to be Lord of our lives. At that point, Jesus Christ saves us. As you said, we can't save ourselves.
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Thanks for your enthusiasm.
