The gnostics left secret instructions on getting there.

In the NHC 5.3 First Apocalypse of James, Jesus dispenses Gnostic Passwords to James on how to ascend to the seventy-second heaven - a late instruction course on the appropriate passwords for the maximum ascension after crucifixion.

There were some unexpected failures however ...

In the NHC 1.2 Apocryphon of James , Peter and James miss their chance to go to heaven. More questions from the apostles are answered by the resurrected Jesus. Jesus invites Peter and James into the Kingdom of Heaven with him, but they are distracted by the other apostles' questions and miss their chance.

No password is needed but a white baptism candle that is transformed into a key is all that is required.

Wow, that is my goal. I may be wrong, but I do not think I will get there by posting on this site.

I do not know what the NHC is, but if Peter and James did not get into Heaven, then my chances do not look good.

Presumably, NHC = Nag Hammadi Codex

Dr. Cargill mentions the 4 Gospels as if in passing, but puts only the apocrypha in the headline. I wonder why this emphasis. A lack of courage perhaps, or is he just trying not to be sensationalistic?

I did not think it was something from King James.
