Eden; you asked who these people are that break a commandment or two but yet receive a glorified body!
These people are the one's who do as King David did when he sinned against God with Bathsheba. David sinned greatly against God by having a sexual relationship with a woman that was not his wife. But David after he sinned did not lay in his sin and make excuses. He got up after praying and fasting cleaned his self up and repented. He did not willfully sin by living in that sin. We will all sin, but we must not willfully live in that sin (continue to do it)!

“As we move toward the end of the Age and the return of Christ, God will work, and move, and act: not along corporate lines, not along organizational lines, not along institutional lines, but He will work along the lines of a Remnant of Overcomers - a group of people bound together by a common interest, a common goal, a common heart, one mind, one spirit."
"And they will be brought together, not into an earthly gathering or movement or denomination or meeting, but they will be brought together with a heart, a mind, a desire, for CHRIST to have the preeminence in ALL things, and they will open the door for Jesus to come in to them and have the first, the full, and the final place in their life..."
Eden here:
Yes, I think that those Christians who actually go to work in the vineyard of the Lord will be the ones given rewards or wages. I think that those Christians who care about the Lord’s work, then the Lord will care about that Christian’s work and household.
It is possible that the Lord Jesus and the LORD YHWY will be A LOT MORE GENEROUS than any of us sinful humans may have thought, in that it is possible that ANYBODY who has ever made a decision for Christ (the “easy believism of David and becauseHElives”, for instance), will still be saved because God is A LOT MORE GENEROUS then we sinful humans would be.
So anyone who has EVER called on Jesus will be SAVED and “will enter into the joy of the Lord”, according to THIS verse:
1 Corinthians 3
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
But rewards are for those who also go work in the vineyard of the Lord; they are the ones who will receive wages or rewards in addition to being saved just by believing, because the Lord is a lot nicer than we can even believe?
Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
And lastly, note this little gem:
Matthew 5:19
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Do you agree that this fellow who breaks some commandments still becomes least in the kingdom of heaven and still made it into the kingdom of heaven, just like the other ones who will be called great in the kingdom of heaven? They are BOTH in heaven, right?
The question then becomes, "Who are these persons who break a commandment or two but still make it into the kingdom of heaven, meaning they still receive a glorified body, but are "a least in the kingdom of heaven"; who on earth are these people? Can we identify them?
With love, Eden

Hope for the Laodicean Church
