I would go even beyond that and simply attribute it to the emotional need for surety. If you walk up to somebody and say: believe in me and you will go to Heaven, and walk up to somebody else and say: believe in me and imitate me and when you go to Heaven, you will be Judged upon that imitation and your eternal Judgement will be based upon that imitation, who might you be convincing more easily?

Problem is, your version is unbiblical for Christians...Mat. 7:21 and following...

Negative. It is strictly Biblical. It is the Reformation that threw open the doors of possibility for violating Matthew 7:21.
