You are all arguing, but as I read I see you understand not testaments. Christ's testimony of what was needed to be done before entrance into heaven did not become law as it is today until after He died. When He was alive it had no power, but the Law of Moses was still in effect which is why Christ followed it almost always except at the command of the Father. Saying "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled".


Therefore the man was saved because of the forgiveness of sins that was in Christ's power. This was the main job of the priestly order of Aaron. Therefore the man was saved and allowed into heaven just as the men before him. The man was not subject to the requirements because Christ had yet to fufill the Law and therefore still under the old testament.


Also, let me say this about the man: He testified of Christ before death, he had a fear of God, and he repented of his wrong doing before God saying "Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss".

Futhermore it is written "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven". Therefore know that the man was purposed for this purpose to be saved by Christ on the cross.

And now the Spirit does bring His children to perfection in Christ since He is given now and not before Christ. For if you did not come from heaven then you cannot ascend to it. Yea, if you do not become as Christ in this life you shall taste death for you shall be as one of the sons of the enemy.

For those of you who believe not that you must meet the requirements, Christ spoke against you in this wise: "he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great".

And again "And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak".

Therefore any man who does not do these things which Christ commanded as He was commanded shall not receive everlasting life and that man or woman shall be likened unto a fool.

Know that any person who does deny these things that Christ has said is not of the kingdom. For a man who says he is of Christ should also walk as Christ walked and Christ most certainly fulfilled all that was required of Him. Let no man have any excuse.
