if Yes, please explain these verses to me. please tell me why would Jesus who you love and work for tell YOU these words. he's not gonna say these words to a Muslim or a Hindu or a Jew, he will tell YOU.
Matthew chapter 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

No, because when Jesus (PBUH) comes back it is the Muslims, not the Christians whom he will recognize as the true followers of all of the prophets, including himself.
Muslims believe they are the true followers of Jesus. Jesus worshipped only Allah (God) - a strict monotheist, as Muslims are today. He "fell on his face and prayed" - the characteristic of Muslim prayer. He fasted, just as we do. He didn't eat pork, and neither do we. He greeted his disciples with "peace be to you" - and this is the universal Islamic greeting - in Arabic "Assalamu 'alaikum". "Isa" - which is the Arabic form of "Jesus" is even a common name for Muslim boys. Moreover, we love him deeply, and believe in him completely.

Someone in here claimed to be God a few minutes ago. I don't really believe they were god, do you?
Just because someone claims to be a Christian does not mean they are one. You can claim anything and do the greatest works known to man, but if Jesus is not in your heart, if you have not accepted him as Lord and savior, you don't know and have never fellow-shipped with God.
You may wish to find the truth in the Word instead of trying to discount it's value. I don't believe I am worthy to fellowship with God, I know that my only hope is through Jesus. He will not say that to me because I gave my life to him, I asked him to be my Lord and savior.
I hope some day you will do the same, he will not forsake those who call on his name and ask forgiveness.
God Bless..

No! I have seen more evil and hypocrisy within organized religion and Christianity than with non-believers (and they tell you that Satan works harder on believers but that's crap). Your verses state that no matter whether or not you take the lord as your god you will still be judged like those who haven't...so I say why become a member of the religion if you will be judged either way, if it's even true.

The scripture says "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength" so He is in the 1st place in our lives a true Christian will spend eternity with Jesus regarding if 'the loved' ones are with him or not, and it doesn't say anywhere that we will recognize any of our relatives in the after life, I would not trade Jesus for nothing in the world; that includes all the loved ones all the best friends ever ..etc.

As long as they believe that God is a man or that God has a son, they are in hot water, from what I understand. All their good works with come to fruition in this world but will not go with them into the hereafter. Until a person believes in One God without partners, they are in jeopardy. Especially if they have heard this truth and choose to reject it.
The true salvation is in the belief and practice in the words: There is no god except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

GOD will proclaim, "This is a day when the truthful will be saved by their truthfulness."
[5:116] GOD will say, "O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to the people, `Make me and my mother idols beside GOD?' " He will say, "Be You glorified. I could not utter what was not right. Had I said it, You already would have known it. You know my thoughts, and I do not know Your thoughts. You know all the secrets.
[5:117] "I told them only what You commanded me to say, that: `You shall worship GOD, my Lord and your Lord.' I was a witness among them for as long as I lived with them. When You terminated my life on earth, You became the Watcher over them. You witness all things.
[5:118] "If You punish them, they are Your constituents. If You forgive them, You are the Almighty, Most Wise."
[5:119] GOD will proclaim, "This is a day when the truthful will be saved by their truthfulness." They have deserved gardens with flowing streams. They abide therein forever. GOD is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. This is the greatest triumph.
[5:120] To GOD belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and everything in them, and He is Omnipotent.

*5:114-115 The Quran's overwhelming miracle (Appendix 1) is described in 74:35 as "One of the greatest miracles," and brings with it an uncommonly great responsibility.
*5:116 It is noteworthy that the Quran consistently calls Jesus "son of Mary" and the Bible calls him "son of man." God knew that some will blaspheme and call him "son of God!"

No amount of good works will get you to heaven if you haven't put your trust in Jesus. The verses you posted show that.
God's will is that you believe on His name; Jesus.

Matthew 5:37-48
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
