How do you know the passage refers to a rich man's willingness, and not to God's rules of entry? It sounds more like the latter to me. And if salvation is not the same thing as being welcomed into the kingdom, then what the devil is it, for chrissake?
Of course we see here another religious contradiction: most Christians will accept the Bible as the word of god - in some sense - but most of the important communication is ambiguous, contradictory or downright confusing. The proof of this is the way different Christians draw radically different messages from the same passages. Also, the fact that most Christians are so hazy about the vital and basic doctrines. We went over that a year or two ago and I don't want to hijack this thread with it now, but start another thread if you like.
Precisely!
