Just some quick responses from me : : 1) Then there IS something I CAN do to be saved: I can HAVE FAITH and LOVE, correct? So…whenever someone says that there is NOTHING I can do to be saved – they are either mistaken or lying, correct? I am told frequently (even by the Bible itself) that there is NOTHING I can do to be saved.
Depends on if you class having faith as DOING something

:Anybody can make a mistake but shouldn’t you get your story straight before dispensing incorrect instructions for escaping eternal damnation? I think it’s the very height of irresponsibility to do otherwise.
That's why I think it would be wiser to discontinue this discussion, as it seems I'm doing more harm than good.

: 2) Where does the bible say “physical action” in reference to terms of salvation? Are you just making things up again?
The Bible talks about "deeds" and says that you don't need to do any special good deeds to get into Heaven.

Shaun: “All people, no matter who they are,who have heard the gospel and did not believe will not enter Heaven. It's in the Bible.”
DDN: It appears to me to be exactly what you are saying except “heard about Jesus” is replaced with “heard the gospel”. So my basic question still stands: What do you mean by “heard the gospel”? How much of the gospel do you need to hear before your “rejection” of it (or Jesus) will land you in Hell?
I think what is called for is a definition of "The Gospel", but I don't have the time for that now, I really must start my assignment.
There are some questions you have asked which I have deleted here. And there are some questions that God only knows the answers to. God works in mysterious ways.
