Jesus Christ told us how he will judge us. If we are worthy to inherit eternal life, we will inherit eternal life. If we are not worthy, we will be with the goats in hellfire.
I haven't anything to do with being "that 'kind' of gift giver."
I am just reminding people of what Jesus said. I choose to believe what he said. John 5:22 His apostles taught the same thing. 2 Corinthians 5:10 You can choose to believe him, or not. I choose to believe him.
I think many people will be shocked to hear the following from Jesus because they believe that once saved, is always saved, and so they continue to sin the same sins they did before they "called on the name of the Lord."
Matthew 7:21-24 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’ Ezekiel 33:12
Christians who live a double life carry their bibles to church, sing hymns, and pray to God, but they choose to disobey God's commandments when they are not in church. If they do not repent of their sins before they die, they will not inherit eternal life.
Luke 13:25-28 When once the owner of the house has got up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then in reply he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 But he will say, ‘I do not know where you come from; go away from me, all you evildoers!’ 28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrown out.
Christians who claim Jesus as their Lord, but do evil things and do not repent of these sins before they die will not inherit eternal life.
This is not my gospel. This is the gospel that Jesus and his disciples taught.
Well, Jesus and his disciples were preaching about the kingdom to Israel in his first coming.
Entering that kingdom is not a gift from God.
As you said, they have to repent, be water baptized, and keep the Law, to qualify to enter that kingdom.
