To be 'christian' is to be 'christ like'. So...yes..God does want us all to be Christians. Are we not to be conformed to the image of Christ?
If that was good enough then Jesus wouldn't have had to die. God's death was in unnecessary.

We need to know that to be saved...according to the bible anyway
Jesus said that no one can come to the Father except through the Son. Paul said that if we confess that Jesus is Lord, and believe that God raised him from the dead, we would be saved. I don't see the option to believe anything else in there.

People have been trying without God's help for a long time. It never works out. [That's what Paul's whole discussion in Romans is about: the Law exposing our need for a Savior.] The advantage of Christianity is that Jesus has 1. died so our sins don't get in the way of God helping us, 2. is interceding for us to get us that help.
1Jn 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1Jn 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
God Bless you too.

Jesus is God in flesh, I believe. Certainly the Jews have God. I suspect the Muslims do to, those who have repented of their sin. I believe the key is this: We are to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, minds, and souls, and love our neighbors as ourselves (Matt 22:34-40). I believe if we do these two things, we are okay, no matter what religion we subscribe to. And if we fail to obey these two commandments, are we going to save ourselves simply by calling ourselves Christians?
