Except for God/Jesus themself(ves), there has never been a father/son relationship like theirs. Describing it as "father/son" is clearly giving believers the wrong idea about what is actually intended. And having the wrong idea in mind while 'believing' would negate the possibility of Salvation.
Without a clear and accurate description of what is expected of believers in regards to the substance of their beliefs, there is no possibility of Salvation. Believing in the 'correct' Jesus for instance, with the additional caveat He was (pick one) Eskimo, gay, Patagonian, Jehovah's Witness, Pastafarian, etc. will NOT secure Salvation. Similarly, being all muddled and confused and mistaken about Jesus and God's fundamental and intrinsic nature is a guaranteed ticket to Hell, regardless of your sincerity of belief.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
