1 and 3 (though I prefer the term "evangelism" and focusing on the positive - eternal life for belief - rather than the punishment for not believing) are the most essential, as they constitute the Gospel and the Great Commission, though all have an important part in the Christian walk.

Love, with love being defined as choosing unselfishly for the highest good of God and others.

This is correct.  Romans 13:8-10.

Philanthropy (which is encompassed by 'love') deserves a mention IMO
