How do you know absolutely that your God exists?
Are you omniscient, like the God described in Christianity?
NOTE: No one has thus far negated the three steps amidst the original post.
.
.I know because I have a personal relationship with Him. A person can't have a personal relationship with someone who doesn't exist.
The Bible teaches that we come to God/Jesus in faith and as we grow we come to belief and as we grow more we come to the knowledge that God is real. God promises He will reveal himself to those who accept His Son as their savior as long as we continue to grow.
You come into a room very weary, you see the only thing in the room is a chair, you're tired so in faith you set in the chair and it supports you so you can rest. After several minutes of twitching and moving around to get comfortable you come to believe the chair is sturdy enough to support you, then after you have rested for a few hours in the chair you have come to the knowledge it's a good chair and will continue to do the job it was built for, to support anyone who has a need to use it. This little story is to show you that you first come to faith in something, then after a bit more examination you come to believe in it then once you have seen it has done what it was intended for you come to a knowledge ie. knowing that it is the genuine thing and suited for it's purpose. You still have your faith and belief in the chair and the knowledge of it being the genuine thing doesn't diminish the faith you first placed in it nor the belief you gained through examination of it, in actuality the knowledge has strengthen both the faith and belief. With this all said your little formula is not valid.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
