D&C 20:29

And we know that all men must repent and believe on the name of Jesus Christ, and worship the Father in his name, and endure in faith on his name to the end, or they cannot be saved in the Kingdom of God.

This is not the only place where such language is used in the scriptures. It is the language of the authoritarian - do this or else. But God is not an authoritarian demanding obedience to his every word. He is the loving Parent who wants us to follow a path of living by principles that create Joy - to create a Zion of loving beings living in loving relationships.

Is it is about becoming - not doing.

Scriptures like this verse in section 20 make it possible to weaponize the gospel. You must believe as I believe or you are the "bad guy."

Change the paradigm and all those "bad guys" become the brothers and sisters you must love if you are to live in Zion.

The old paradigm was such a burden - to repent, believe, and endure or else. It was all about doing the right things and never stopping, every act counted. (Angels above us are silent notes taking of every action. . .)

The new paradigm is about what I am learning, how I am being changed by the experiences in life. How does Jesus guide me and heal me on this journey?

There are no winners and losers, and no "or else".  Just a simple "Come follow me" spoken by One whose love is fixed upon us.
