Dear Friend,

I fully understand that those who love unconditionally are guided by the Holy Spirit.

The Catholic Church says the same .

We don’t condemn the poor Muslim women who loves unconditionally and has been given a scarecrow my the mullahs.

If she loves unconditionally she has the spirit of Christ and thus can be saved,

It is only the fundamentalists protestants who believe otherwise

I fully understand that those who love unconditionally are guided by the Holy Spirit.

And that's why the Beatitudes were spoken for everyone.

However, at this point it must be noted that after the Beatitudes, Christ really was addressing the Apostles exclusively. Here's +John Chrysostom again:

And whereas in the other beatitudes, He said, “Blessed are the poor,” and “the merciful;” here He hath not put it generally, but addresses His speech unto themselves, saying, “Blessed are ye, when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and say every evil word:” signifying that this is an especial privilege of theirs; and that beyond all others, teachers have this for their own.
