When I say this, the answer I get from God is that all can be saved, but not by people preaching, but by God's power and wisdom. At first I was also surprised why the answer God gave me was inconsistent with the revelation.
I know a sinner. I know his sin. He died many years ago. Then one day, I suddenly heard his voice in my ear. I think it is from heaven, and he is not a Christian. At first, I wondered why. I thought for a long time. My conclusion is that God wants to inspire my position and view on some issues through him.
You may say that you doubt whether the evil spirit is testing me. I said so. At that time, my reaction was that how can such a person enter the kingdom of heaven? He should go to hell! Then the sinner wanted to end his life because of my point of view. I regret what I thought now. I don't know if he really gave up his life. But Jesus said that those who gave up their life gained life instead.

I would question that scenario...carefully. Also, contrary...God says ...few will find the way. Universalism...is a no no.
Christ was speaking of one who sacrifices this physical life for righteous cause...will be rewarded with spiritual life...hereafter.
Example; ISIS recently required one to renounce God or die...they cut heads off.
Unless a person has repented, been baptized and lived a righteous life they can not enter Heaven.
Satan will attempt to duplicate God in many instances. He is shrewd and deceitful...we know because the Bible...1611 KJV edition, recommended. tells us so.
Be blessed in your Bible studies.
