I agree, Rolcam. No one gets into heaven based upon anyone else having received Christ. Scripture says that all who come to Him will become adopted "sons of God".
Gal 3:26-27
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
NKJV
This wording is important for another reason. In ancient Israel, a son gained a share in the inheritance of the father. A grandson would not automatically have rights in the inheritance, other than through their fathers. Scripture says that those who believe are made sons of God. The fact that we who have received Christ as saviour are made sons and not grandsons is a great promise. We all receive a share of the inheritance, which is eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:28
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
NKJV
