Hmmm... So how do you reconcile your belief above with the following:
"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Matthew 28:18-20
He was speaking to his 11 apostles.
Now how do you explain Matthew 19:17-19, where Jesus says you have to keep the commandments to go to heaven?
