Who can be saved? A Christian perspective

"Jesus said that there are two commandments, Love god and the two parter, love others as you love yourself.Basically, that's it, love GOD and love others as you love yourself.So the question is, "Do you have to acknowledge GOD or even believe in GOD to Love GOD?"IMHO and according to the Bible, the answer is "No. You can love GOD without acknowledging GOD or even if you deny GOD's very existence."

Jar writes:"You can love GOD without acknowledging GOD or even if you deny GOD's very existence."

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

"The gift of salvation was freely given, given to all, given to saint and sinner, believer and non-believer."

I cannot imagine a loving GOD that would force anyone to live eternally. What a hell that would be. Instead, I would imagine that the individual would be given enough information to make an informed decision and that GOD would grant the individual's wish.
