You once again highlight the problem with Calvinism. You interpret verses in isolation while missing the context.
1 Cor 2:9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him—10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
The context of what Paul is talking about is established in verses 9 and 10. This is talking about people who already believe and talks about "the things God has prepared for those who love Him". Then he goes on to call these things "the deep things of God". This has nothing to do with one's ability to initially believe the gospel and put their faith in Christ. That is clearly not the context of this passage.
Paul expands on what he is talking about in that passage immediately afterwards in 1 Corinthians 3. Remember, there were no chapter breaks in the original Greek, so he is continuing his thoughts on this particular topic into 1 Cor 3.
1 Cor 3:1 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings? 5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Notice that Paul is scolding these immature believers who he called "infants in Christ" for still behaving in a worldly fashion. They were Christians but were immature Christians. They were not yet ready to understand the "solid food" of God's word instead of only the milk. They were not yet ready to understand the deep things of God that he had previously talked about. But, it wasn't as though they couldn't understand it. They had the Holy Spirit so they had to learn how to discern what the Holy Spirit was teaching them.
But unbelievers without the Holy Spirit cannot possibly understand the "solid food" of God's word and the deep things of God. That's all Paul was saying. He was not saying that unbelievers have no ability to comprehend the message of the gospel and to respond to it without having the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.
The reality is you have overlooked the context. Those deep things you speak of? They are searched out by the spirit. I would contend that it is not the Holy Spirit but the human spirit that searches them out for the Holy Spirit need not search out anything of god for He is God!
Even in your version of Scripture you are using here, you show that it is the unsaved that cannot perceive the things of god because they have not the Spirit. a carnal Christian has the Spirit even if they are disobedient. Unbelievers cannot understand even the milk of the Word. If the milk of the Word are things that come from the Spirit of God so the natural man cannot understand them! John 3 clearly shows that the understanding of gospel is from the Spirit of God
