I believe that Jesus meant, "By this shall all men know that my disciples are mine: if they love one another." He did NOT say, "By this shall all men know that any random person is my follower: if he loves others." He was speaking to people who were already His followers, therefore the statement wasn't extended to everyone; it was to a specific group.

OK.
Is the love that unbelievers have real love? Or is it fake? Can unbelievers have agape love?
