You're a breath of fresh air then. Most others have me burning in hell already. :-)

I believe that it is necessary to bring together a number of OT & NT scriptures to synthesize this particular understanding ... a luxury that the early Christians didn't have.
And what do you make of Yeshua's prayer (verse 5) here ...John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
