I'm not going to lie and say that I know exactly why there are people who don't get saved and continue to deny salvation. Some Christians think it's because God gives us free will and won't force us (though He will still try to get us to see). Others believe that God has specific people who He has chosen ahead of time, and He will only open those certain people's hearts to understand/believe/accept salvation. I don't know exactly which one is true, though I tend to lean closer to the second option. I'm not going to pretend to know the answer. I do know that I am saved and I know that I am instructed to share the gospel with everyone...that's all I need to know. I just trust God with the rest.

To answer your questions:

How many people can tell me that they got saved from researching about it? Not many, because salvation requires faith.

What if I'm wrong? If I thought there was a chance that I could be wrong, I wouldn't have given God everything to start with. The bible says to count the cost before accepting Jesus, which I did, and I know that it's worth it.
