Confessing that Jesus is the Christ alone may offer eternal life, however, it does not save us from the wrath of God, the same wrath that got Israel exiled from His land.

The words of Christ John recorded disagree with you.

16“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17“For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

18“He who believes in Him

is not judged;

he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:16-18 NASB

I challenge you to define belief using Scripture alone. No dictionary or the likes, just the Word of God.

“For everyone who is doing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But the one doing the truth comes to the light, so that his works are clearly seen, that they have been wrought in Elohim.” [John 3:20-21] Therefore...

“He who believes(G4100) in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey(G544) the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him.”

Now who is the life? John 14:6 ... Jesus the Christ. Those who do not obey do not receive the reward of being gathered to see & be with Christ when He returns.

“And see, I am coming speedily, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according to his work. ... Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city." [Rev 12 & 14]

“But outside are the dogs and those who enchant with drugs, and those who whore, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and all who love and practice falsehood." [Rev 22:15]

Because it is written... “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’ [Mt 7:21-23]

Jesus isn't speaking of breaking the laws of men, He is speaking of the Law (Torah) of His Father that He came to restore. So tell me, do you believe homosexuality is a sin and if so, what is your authority for that conclusion you reached?
