one on one fits in with something that i told my 10th grade sunday school class that i help teach.

jesus said to love your neighbor as yourself.

to love one's self is to put one's needs before others: food, raiment, life, opportunity

to love one's neighbor as one loves him/herself would me to put those things first for them over your own needs.

jesus also mentions that we all have the holy spirit inside of us. one part of the trinity(god/jesus/holy spirit) as a spritual guide.

so we have all humans with whom we share a part of the trinity with.

so to love our neighbor is to love ourself because in the end we are all part of god via the trinity.

so to enter heaven one on one would mean that if we do not put the spiritual growth/ascention of other's before our own, it is ourself who ultimately is lost

"i give you a new commandment: love one another; just as i have loved you, you also must love one another. by this love you have for one another, everyone will know that you are my disciples." jn. 13.34-35

"love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who treat you badly." lk. 6.27-28

"be compassionate as your father is compassionate. do not judge, and you will not be judge yourselves; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned yourselves; grant pardon, and you will be pardoned." lk 6.27

but most importantly, dont give up, be strong:
