You have some points right but most are exaggerated, first things first, salvation comes from grace through our faith in Christ, then we are to try and live a holy life, that means set apart, as in set apart from the worldly thinking. As far as giving our stuff to the poor, you have gave that no thought what so ever. If we were to give all our things to the poor, then we would be the poor and the ones that received those things would have to give them back, an endless cycle that Christ never meant to happen. Christ said to those who are given much, much is expected. Take these two points and you have what Christ meant we are not to hoard, we are to help the poor, now here's where it has it's deeper meaning, whether they are poor in spirit or material things.
How about tomorrow why do you worry about it, you are not guaranteed your next breath, no matter whether you believe in God or not. Many people drop dead in their tracks every day, who knows you could be next, they surely were not expecting to drop dead at that moment. What is it that would make you more deserving to live than them.
The pride deal what's wrong with having pride in things you accomplish, Jesus did not teach this was wrong, that is what socialism results in. Christ always wants us to put our best foot forward. What Jesus was speaking of was self pride, pride that makes you believe you're better than the next guy, good enough to believe you deserve to live over others for example.
God has said man can not live up to that standard, though through Christ we are to try. If just one person outside of Jesus could have accomplished this God would not have sent Jesus to die. The love thy enemy thing, try to do as Jesus did, Father forgive them they no not what they do, Jesus loved His enemies so much He ask the Father to forgive them for putting Him to death on a cross.
Yes there are many denominations, some that have it wrong, most know that grace through faith saves them. We differ on things that in the end want amount to a hill of beans.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
