God's 19 Commandments for Christians

*** Updated 2019-5-5 ***

I propose the following as the 20 Commandments for Christians.

The Bible is full of great ideas and suggestions for a better, more effective, and happier life.

To me, Christianity is all about getting to everlasting life with Jesus Christ in Heaven.  Everything else on this planet is of secondary importance, or of no importance.

However, I was interested in boiling it down to the Biblical essentials; what MUST be done to be assured of getting into Heaven.  All of the "nice to do" can be stripped away.

Here is what I came up with.

I have discovered that God's Laws for Christians are similar, but significantly different from the Jewish Law (commandments, statutes, laws, and ordinances; a total of 613 items, more or less).

Some so-called "experts" suggest that Christians only have to believe in Jesus, nothing else, and you get a pass to Heaven.  Can someone merely believe in Jesus, then safely murder and/or create no end to mayhem, and still get into Heaven?  I doubt this is what God intended.  Paul says those who commit the 17 Deadly Sins will not be going to Heaven, especially those who chronically live in them.  Note that Jesus clearly said, on numerous occasions, all who say "Lord, Lord" (see Matthew 7:21) , or are poorly prepared foolish virgins (see Matthew 25:1-13), or depend on good works alone aren't getting into Heaven.

I would like to get your comments and suggestions on this.  Am I misguided to take this approach?  Have I missed something from my list?  Have I included something that is not a mandatory inclusion?
