(Matt 7:21) Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Perhaps you're confusing a combination of things. While Jesus walked the earth, we were still under the Old Covenant. Just crying out to the Lord is not the same as repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus as your Savior. Jesus was the only Man to walk the Earth that could "do God's will as far as conforming to the Commandments, else (once again) there was no reason for Him to die for our sins.
