It is impossible to be born from above without doing the will of the Father.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.”

Yes, as we return with Christ to reign for 1,000 years. The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God will both be realized together. Both were at hand during the earthly ministry of Christ. The kingdom of heaven has been postponed due to Israel's rejection, but the spiritual kingdom of God is still at hand through the body of Christ.

What is this??
Matthew 19:23-24
And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, tonly with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter vthe kingdom of God.”

its the SAME thing.

The will of the Father is for Christians to do as God pleases.

Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

James 2:16​
.. and one of you says to them, ​
"Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," ​
but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?​

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

- Ephesians 2:8-10

op is not just a child with regard to his spouting, but a delinquent one at that

attending a gathering of sin focused people who call themself 'Christian' is not beneficial to growth in Christ

you will never be good enough, obedient enough or saved enough for those folks

The op is guilt ridden, fearful and desires to promote those false beliefs that have been misinterpreted in order to control others as he himself has been exposed to this type of religious exercise that benefits no one and actually keeps people from the table of the Lord and the fact we should be rejoicing in Christ and not continually focusing on a sin based teaching

by focusing on the (supposed) sins of others, this type of practice will insure the follower is better, more religious and definitely more saved than Paul the Apostle

this is crap psychology of the demonic at its saddest attempt to control others when all hope of actually preventing salvation is lost

if you cannot prevent salvation, then, by gum, make those folks so miserable their greatest joy is trying to make others miserable

this is not the salvation God offers

I'm assured the op actually (sadly) has nothing more to offer but what has been revealed here. And of course the addition of snark which indicates the false superior position he believes he alone holds. Three years out and he is sin and threat focused. Probably attends some cultish fringe group. He has been ensnared.
