"The least in the kingdom of Heaven is greater than John the Baptist..." My gut tells me the whole Christian world is in for a gigantic surprise at the end of this story. Who would be considered least in the kingdom of Heaven right now as we speak? I'll let you decide. Isaiah 14:16 - "They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?" I picture them squinting eyes and saying, "No way!"
In this case how can we understand Revelation 20 . 15 : And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire and Rev 21 .8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Thank you for a indication .
The historical interpretation is much different. It goes like this:
"Savior" can pertain to God's common grace, which appears all throughout the Bible, how God saved everyone on the Ark of Noah, and saves those from enemy attack.
Why does it say "especially believers"?
This is obvious, because believers are saved from God's wrath and judgment in the end.
You don't do proper exegesis, and make many assumptions... James White would have a field day with this.
and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. :)
Another BAD and illinformed interpretation.

and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. :)

One day every tongue will confess You are God.
One day every knee will bow.
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly chose You now!
