I am concerned that we have a faulty understanding of a couple of things, those being (1) the sovereignty of God and (2) the Kingdom He established in the hearts of men!

Maybe my concerns are invalid. If so, please let me know why they are invalid.

There is a concern. But it's the way you phrased it -- "qualified". Only Christ's works qualify us. But I thought you were actually trying to say whether or not our activity and behaviour is conducive to being in the kingdom.
