No
How are you able to make that judgement?
You admitted that you would kill if 'God' told you to, given that you can be sure it was indeed 'God'.
How do you know they weren't privileged enough to receive an actual communication from 'God' ?
How would you go about testing the difference between a real communication from 'God', and something else?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
