What commandment says you must worship the deity Of Jesus to get into God's kingdom?

I see lot of answers that say, oh that group does not believe in the Trinity. Or that group is a cult cause they do not worship the deity Of Jesus.

Where is it that Jesus said you MUST worship the deity Of Jesus to get into his kingdom? (Please use scriptures to backup your answers)

Update:

1 john 2:23 says to acknowledge the Son. Does not they must worship him.

John 3:16 says you need to believe him, not worship.

Update 2:

Jesus is not mentioned in the Hebrew scriptures only his father.

Update 3:

there is no trinity in the bible.

Update 4:

John 10:30--"I and My Father are one." Does not say one person or one creature or even "one and the same".

    the following verse is about Jesus teaching his disciples how to pray:

    Luk 11:1 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

    Luk 11:2 And he said to them, "When you pray, say: "Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.

    Jesus himself prayed to the father.

    I don't know the scriptures specifically

    The commandment was "Thou Shalt not have any other god before me".

    The Christian bible indicates that Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are really 3 parts of a whole. Just because, say Jewish people, don't believe that Jesus was the son of God, and thereby a part of the "Holy Trinity" does not mean that they do not believe in the same God. I believe that they actually see Jesus as a Messenger of God (prophet or whatever).

    Its nonsense to claim one deity is the only TRUE deity as well as one religion being the one true religion without proof.

    I personally am a Christian and believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, but I also know there is no uncorrupted proof that this is true. The bible is supposedly translated from the dead sea scrolls into latin and from there into the many different languages of the world. Who is to say that it has been translated 100% correctly each time, and who is to say that while it was translated words used at that time to mean one thing, mean the same things now.

    I say live and let live, if your deity is really the one true one, let him/her/them be the ones to sort it out in the afterlife (or not at all if that is your belief)

    I have read the Bible quite a bit and have yet to read where Jesus said.., "worship me". I can find where Jesus said to worship God.

    I am convinced Jesus is the Son of the Living God and of man.., and that he is LORD.., but I am not sold that Jesus is deity. And I really don't believe he is his own father. That would be really messed up AND against what the Bible actually teaches, no matter how people try and re-interpret the scriptures to fit their particular denominational view.

    John 3:16-18-"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believs in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. v. 17-- For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. v. 18--He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned alresdy, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

    John 6:40--"And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

    John 14:6--"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

    John 15:23--"He who hates Me hates My Father also."

    John 12:49--"For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak."

    John 10:30--"I and My Father are one."

    Philippians 2:9-11--"Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,

    v.10...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, v. 11...and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

    Rev. 5:12--"Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing."

    THAT, my friend, is WORSHIP!

    How much plainer do you want it?

    There is no way to God or heaven without Jesus Christ.

    confident, this could be a puzzling thought yet being complicated to comprehend would not make it fake. Many Christians describe it as Jesus and the daddy are the two God yet additionally the two not the comparable guy or woman (3 in guy or woman, one in essence). Jesus claimed to be God by employing declaring that he replaced into one with the daddy (see John 10:30-33). He additionally claims deity someplace else. the the remainder of the NT claims the comparable (see John a million, Colossians 2:9, etc). One see that the daddy is God, Jesus is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, yet they relate to one yet another as separate persons. The bible stresses the cohesion of God because of the fact their closeness is previous what we are able to think of.

    1 John 2:23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

    18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

    It is written in the holy bible, in the New Testament book of John, chapter 14 verse 6: "I am the way, the truth and the life and no man comes unto the Father, but by me."

    These were the words of Jesus Christ himself to his disciples and to the people who came to hear him teach the gospel of God's kingdom. His birth, his ministry and his deity were predicted in several old Testament books because the people had hardened their hearts and turned their ears away from the commandments, which God, the father, had given them. That is why God sent his word to the people in the person of his Son, Jesus. Jesus told us to love one another and to love God with all our hearts, souls and minds and with all of our strength. Then, for our sake, he allowed the Roman soldiers to crucify him and in doing so, took our sins upon himself, went into death and arose again to heaven to make himself a sacrifice to forgive our sins if we turn from them and practice his doctrine.

    No where in the bible will you find, where Jesus says worship me, I am God. Jesus repeatedly told his disciples to pray to his Father. He taught them repeatedly who to pray to, and he said that there was only one God and that was his Father. Jesus does not want our worship. That belongs only to God. But God wants us to recognize his Son and what he has done for us. This is why when we pray we must pray to God alone, but do it in His Son's name, Jesus.

    thou shalt have no other gods before me

    Jesus is the God that the Jews of the old testament prayed to.

    Jesus is who Moses talked to in the burning bush.

    This is what I find confusing about Christianity.

    There are about 300 different sects with different beliefs about the tenets you have listed.

    And all of them assert that they are the "correct" one.
