"If ye love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15
Does this refer to the 10 commandments or another thing?
Jesus referred to His words, as written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
We will be judged by His words.
"There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day." John 12:48

How important is personal prophecy?
A prophesy is a message from God. Most people "prophecy" their own thoughts, lies. True prophecy is always a rebuke or correction. It is important to hear from Jesus yourself. If someone prophecies over you, pray about it first and ask Jesus to confirm it - remember, every man is a liar, God is the truth.

Drunk in the Spirit and laughing - is it real?
"what does the bible say about spiritual laughter and getting filled with the holy spirit and being drunk?"
The bible does not say anything about spiritual laughter. People laugh and act up. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not madness, it brings people to repentance and the fear of God, not sensuality.

Can people go to heaven if they don't have a relationship with Jesus?
"Can people who read scriptures still go to Heaven if they serve Jesus yet he hardly or does not at all have a relationship yet they still preach truth of Jesus (forsake sins, make restitution when necessary, stop sinning, refute false doctrine etc.)?"
Jesus is the only one who can tell you that. Jesus said we must strive hard because the door that leads to life is narrow and few will find it. That does not leave much room for those who are not serious about following and obeying Jesus.

Ye are the salt of the earth - What does it mean?
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Matthew 5:13
Mark 9:50
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltiness, with which will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. Mark 9:50
Salt is a preservative, if it has lost it's saltiness it is not good as a preservative or to add taste to food. The Christians are to be salt, to prevent the rotting of society and also to add flavor. A Christian who does not obey Jesus and live in righteousness and condemns the wrong in society, is useless.

Is Purgatory real?
"it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment," Hebrews 9:27.
Judgment will be final and there is only one of two destinations.
It will either be heaven or the lake of fire for eternal torment.
"And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." Revelations 20:12-15.
There is no purgatory and there is no way of coming out of hell.
"And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night," Revelations 14:11.

Is it ever too late for forgiveness?
Not until the day you die. Once you die it is all over but until then we can cry out for mercy. Jesus will not reject anyone. Do not wait and hope for a death bed repentance, we don't know when our time is up.
