I am going to gently call you an this one, my dear bro and Friend. This "St Peter at the Gates" is a pernicious, ubiquitous false picture of peter admitting or denying suppliants to heaven through capricious use of what people have been taught to think of as literal "keys" to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Of course it absolutely requires that one cannot know what his eternal destination is, until after physical death.
Please, my brother, please don't use this illustration, even jokingly, as it lends support to "earning your way to heaven" and denies salvation by faith alone, to be known excepted, experienced, and lived in this world.
Respectfully . . .
. . . to be known, excepted accepted, experienced, and lived in this world.
21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one to each: and every several gates was of one several pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple therein. For the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, and the Lamb.
23 And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God hath enlightened it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof.
24 And the nations shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates thereof shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
pearl ...
Matthew 13:45-46
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls , and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
