Beyond simply believing that you are saved from an eternity of torment, surely you have experience the healing of God's love in your life.
Gnosticism. That's all it is. You are advocating for a modern day gnosticism.

I'm "advocating" that people experience God, who is love, and who saves/heals.

Yes. God does love the world. So much that he sent his son, and that whoever believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life. Bu those that don't believe are condemned.

I believe on the "name of Jesus": God is salvation. Those who believe that the God who is salvation, is also a God who condemns, are living under condemnation.

Hogwash with a side order of baloney. But cling to it, fundie, like a psychological blankie.

There you go condemning all that don't believe as you do. And based on what? Your personal opinion, or some claim to special knowledge.

I'm not condemning anyone. I'm stating the natural outcome of believing that the God you supposedly trust to save you, is a God of wrath and condemnation.

It's both sad and sick but fundies NEED to believe Other People will burn forever. Not them, of course. Just Other People.
