I will only scissor out your stretching of the meaning of a few verses.

Your situation is well described in Matthew 7:

[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

.
Knowing him is not an intellectual experience, it is a lifetime spiritual experience, as the above scripture clearly shows.

Its easy to buzz on by words like 'know,'and 'iniquity,' not drinking their full meaning, and it wasn't me that said we are not saved yet, it was Yeshua, and his apostles, Paul, Peter, and John.
