I agree, salvation by grace do not mean steal as a lifestyle inherit the kingdom
Paul say
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Yes there is no word as lifestyle in this verse, but if we read the Bible completely, I believe as long as we feel guilty and repent we are forgiven and inherit the kingdom.
But I am not agree with the teaching
As long as you believe in Jesus, murder, stealing go to heaven, only reduce the reward.
Because Paul say stealing not inherit the kingdom

Jesus gave him a perfect answer to the imperfect question he asked.
If he kept the commandment, do not bear false witness, he would have called Him Lord, not rabbi. And since he didn't, he would not have said he kept all these.
Why do you think Jesus only gave him a few commands, and left out others, when he asked which ones?
And why did the man ask 'which commands' in the first place?

I am glad to see you asking questions. First off, let's address the rich young man. Jesus gives the answer why the man would not follow him:
Mark 10:24 "And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!" People with money will always trust it to provide for them, it becomes their stumbling block. We that live hand to mouth know we need God as our supplier.
Your friend with the credit card scam show you how easy one can view their walk with Christ. God's laws are there to teach us what sin is. 1 John 3:4 "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."
Nobody is really fully saved until we are resurrected to immortality. We can call ourselves saved but we really are prophesying our future. Keeping God's laws does not save us, grace is a gift. What we do with our life, after God's bestows His grace on us, is called obedience as you pointed out.
So living by every word of God, we start seeing some of the things in the law that create good habits and leads us into the right path. That path produces the fruits of the spirit. It is important to have a right relationship with the law. Doing it does not condemn you unless you view it as your means of salvation. Don't let the naysayers convince you the law is not good for us.
Romans 7:12 "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good."
Mark 10:24 "And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!" People with money will always trust it to provide for them, it becomes their stumbling block. We that live hand to mouth know we need God as our supplier.

Is Jesus yanking everyone's chain calling Himself Son of Man, instead of Son of God? Or does He expect us to figure it out? He told Peter flesh and blood didn't reveal the truth to him - while Jesus was standing there in flesh and blood before him. I don't think toying with us is the right way to describe teaching in parables, tho I get what you're saying. He hides Himself, to be found by the one that earnestly seeks Him, and I think this is how He speaks to this man - he gives him enough clues to discover Him.

I agree, but we are sinful man, we tend to repeat our sin. But I believe as long as we repent and ask forgiveness He will forgive us.
Not plan to sin and ask forgiveness.
For example, a thief repent for 10 years and for some reason 10 years down the road, he is in the situation, so hungry and do not have a money, than he repeat the same sin he did before and steal.
I think if he repent and ask forgiveness, he is forgiven and inherit the kingdom.
But if he steal, than ask forgiveness, tomorrow he steal again and ask forgiveness never try to find a job. Than I do not know if he really ever ask Jesus into his heart

E
Your putting the onus on self not god
The things we did not stop thinking stealing was a sin and need to repent again he lost faith in god in that area of his or her life. that’s why they sinned
Jesus is not going to
Condemn a person because they lacked faith in an area of their life. He is gonna love them
