Hi Mark,
In trying to answer your question, I think it will be the condition of the person's heart which will weigh in on judgement day.

There are many who never directly heard the scriptures (mezo-american aborigines before the time of the spanish conquest for instance). On the other hand, there is evidence that God does speak to those who've never heard the gospel.

>>Why is it more important to acknowledge god as Jesus Christ(as opposed to Bhudda, Allah, or whatever) than it is to live your life with love and concern for your fellow man?

We will know more about this on judgement day.

It has been said that there will be scoundrels in heaven and saints being destroyed (or burned in hell).

As for human love, in my experience that's a tainted thing; if I'm right about this, what use would it be to bring that up on judgement day?

My guess that a person's humility will go a long way in determining how they will fare on judgement day.... yes, their humility, not their track record or their so-called "love for others."

FWIW
Andy
