I think you are adding too much to what the Bible says.
You keep saying things like this:
I think those that turn their lives over to God through Jesus Christ, who receive God's
Spirit, and walk out the remainder of their days following God's lead in their lives, doing
the good works God had for them to do will without a doubt be REVIELVED as a son of
God..
Quote a reference that supports that sentence.
I've not added anything to what the Bible says, I either quote the Bible or explain it never
once have I added to it. What I've done is no different than you or anyone else who
expresses an opinion over passages of scripture they are talking about. I will gladly give
you scripture references that is never an issue if you question something I've said.
We are given God's Spirit so that we can walk out lives as God wants. If you need more
reference on this point please ask there are several. With His Spirit God's love has been
poured into our hearts, if any miss this out pouring there is an issue between them and
God.
Matthew 3:11
“I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Romans 5:4-6 English Standard Version (ESV)
4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 8:4
in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
We are required to walk according to the Spirit not our flesh so if we are not walking out
our lives by the Spirit we are not going to fulfill the righteous requirements of the law. A
scripture I've shared with you more than once if you don't have God's Spirit you do not
belong to God.
Romans 8:9
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
We have God's Spirit as He has given it to us as I told you, and we are walking out our
lives the reminder of our days following the Spirit's lead as He teaches us about the Lord.
With the Spirit of God in us we wait till it is shown what we are in Christ. The Holy Spirit
is Whom by which we are sealed for the day of redemption.
John 14:26
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Ephesians 4:30
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Romans 8:23
And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
Romans 8:15
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
