If one simply professes your three tenants without attempting to understand their full implications has fallen short.

Well, the thief on the cross dodn't have much time for contemplation....he indeed simply professed his belief in Christ..and Jesus responded....'today you will be with me'.

...in paradise. He didn’t say, “in Heaven”.

Your statement that he didn’t have much time to contemplate is mere conjecture. Do you know for a fact that his acceptance of Christ on the Cross was not preceded or even enabled by contemplation he had in time leading up to the Cross? Do you really think it was his mere utterance of the words that allowed him to be saved, without more?
