“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.

Additionally, it is those in Matthew 7 who are the mere professors lacking real faith in Christ in James 2:14.

What about these people who believe in Jesus?...

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?"

What will happen to them? They believe in Jesus, don't they? And you say that's all that's necessary, right?
