Their sin will not be forgiven.
You can't be forgiven by something you don't trust in to forgive you.
1. God has not shown them the truth of that yet. They've just heard man's testimony, not God's.
2. They have been shown the truth of that, but they refused it long ago. Now they are prevented from seeing what they once knew to be true. Their hearts have been hardened to unbelief.
They don't have the forgiveness of God because they refused the forgiveness of God. They are lost.
Yes.

Wanting to be like Jesus is a result of 'faithing' (believing in what the evidence of the unseen has shown you to be true).
Faith is the evidence that God puts inside of you that shows you the gospel of Jesus is for real. The idea being that you'll then put your trust in what you now know to be true about Jesus by confessing your sin and receiving God's forgiveness for that sin, and receiving His righteousness in place of your unrighteousness via the Holy Spirit.
Ultimately, believing that what God says about heaven and hell, salvation and damnation will lead you out of your old life and cause you to seek to be like Jesus. It's the result of believing in what God has said about the Judgment to come and your decision to make peace with Him through Jesus Christ before that time comes.

Jesus said that God loves us as much as he loves Jesus.
That is not man's testimony.
It's in the Bible.
I'm so shocked you have said the above.
How can someone who has been shown the truth reject and refuse it long ago before they even heard the truth?
You can't be forgiven by something you do not trust in?????
Was that the same for Peter.
Wow now I see your true colours.
