How are you certain that your interpretation of the Bible will keep you out of hell? You need to sell all your belongings first, or you may as well try and squeeze through the eye of a needle. Tell me I'm wrong about that.
Acts 5:4 Peter says to Ananias," While the land remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was the money not at your disposal? Why is it you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
According to Peter form the Book of Acts we do not have to sale our belongings, Peter says that's our choice.
I also know you are referring to the rich ruler in Luke 18. You have missed out on the reality of this story, first of all you think the ruler was suppose to sell all he had. But for what purpose, to give to the poor, that's what Jesus told him to do. The purpose was not necessarily to help the poor, it was to put Christ first, then others and himself last, basic biblical Christian doctrine.
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.
