Thanks for clarifying, but I also mean by love of goodness and love, it's true nature, not what merely desire it to be. If they genuinely seek to know it's true nature and love to find that, they are believers per definition of Quran, for they are in state of submission and peace with the truth, and would accept whatever signs they come across.
Some people have said things if they come to know God exists, they would still not Worship or submit to it even he sends Messengers, and even if they know the Messengers are the truth. And some people praised those people saying that.
So I don't really know what to make of that, maybe they are just playing devil's advocate, but play devil's advocate too long, and you might become his advocate!
I have seen ppl say that, but I don't dismiss them as people who will go to hell. I see it as them having the wrong perception of God, if He were to exist. I truly think that when they finally see that God is real in the afterlife, and they finally see and understand that God truly is the embodiment of goodness and love, that they will want to praise Him.
Praise of God is the sweetest and best reward in heaven, for it's the best form of love.
May God make us one of those people who will praise him in this world and the next, through his name/face (of which Jesus I believe was a channel of and instance of).
Happy Easter and may God hasten through the prayers and efforts of believers the day when Jesus returns!
