But a wealthy young man who impresses the Christ with his attitude and actions can be denied heaven for the crime of not making himself destitute. Seems to me that "being a good Christian" is a bit of a crapshoot. God doesn't seem very fair, to be honest.
It's worse than that. The rich young man must make himself destitute by way of a sizable endowment to the church.
