You think you can achieve a state of perfection? Not according to the bible. God through the death of Jesus Christ to atone for your sin can make you perfect, but that is not you achieving it now is it?
So lets go back to all those good muslims and how they're getting to heaven if they pass the test of Jesus, but not the test that we would take because the Word of God has been corrupted. Here is the test. Submit to Jesus Christ or not? Answer yes = pass, answer no = fail.

I think achieving it is possible, with sacrifice. Can a child become an adult?
Maybe not an exact parallel--but then why "Be ye perfect?" Your stance there would make Christ's words of no effect?
And @ Muslims up there, I have to say that the Muslim view as I understand it is "submit to Christ, BAM; but skip the Original Sin."
