Sure, I know what what’s being offered. And I want none of it.

The OP author first cites a statement by Jesus telling us to “do the will of the Father”, and then from this statement advises us to do nothing but say unto Him “Lord, Lord”. This sort of advice soothes the conscience of the stubborn and stiff-necked, as it bars them from entering the kingdom.

“The OP author first cites a statement by Jesus telling us to “do the will of the Father”, and then from this statement advises us to do nothing but say unto Him “Lord, Lord”.”

False witness is sin. You know full well that’s not what I said or meant. It was the very people who scream “Lord, Lord” in Matthew 7 who offer their works as reason for salvation. Jesus calls them lawless. They don’t recognize their sinfulness and need for the Savior.

I would suggest running to Christ, rather than your own, incredibly low standard of what gets you into Heaven.

I would also point out that real mean don’t get their wives and children into Heaven. They point their wives and children to Christ, so that HE can get them into Heaven.

I asked of you the following, regarding your post #5: “Where do you believe this division will occur, where Jesus says depart from me you workers of iniquity?” May I ask again for your response to that query? It is vital in addressing the concepts of rewards and judgment.

But that's what Jesus tells us the 'will of the Father' is...Why not believe it???
