Will try to keep this as short as possible. First off, we all know that the Bible is perfect, holy and has no contradictions, right? Of course! If you dont, please hit the "back" button on your browser.
"Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Stage one, ultra grace. For those to attain heaven through one prayer, maximum grace.
"Not all who call on me Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven." Now, we have an apparent contradiction. Or do we? These are for people who are more informed, read the word & have a spiritual awakening. They are at level 2. Must fulfill more, and be saved by "grace through faith". More than just grace.
"Only those who have been born again....of water and of spirit shall enter the kingdom of heaven" Highest level, #3. Born again, spirit filled. Baptized. .More knowledge, more responsibility. Grace, faith, 2 baptisms.
All in line with "leaders will be judged more severly" the more ya know, more it takes 2 be saved. Agree? :)
